Interested In Sitting For A Portrait?
"Johnny B" charcoal and conte
I’m revisiting portraiture after having put it on hold for the past 3 years. Needless to say I’m really excited about it, but this also means I need people who want to stop by and sit for a while. Interested? Hmmm??

No one can deny that we, as humans, are eternally interested in how others view us; it’s a fascinating concept. Everyone sees their surroundings differently, and this doesn’t exclude the physical  presence of those around us. The energy that people exude, which we all pick up on differently, is really interesting to capture on paper.

The portraits are done pretty quickly, they takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and a half to complete, and while it would be great to do them here at the studio, I wouldn’t be opposed to coming to you if that makes you happier. I just need your face! Don’t be shy! Become a piece of art! The process is fun, it isn’t stuffy and I swear it won’t hurt. Sometimes portraits are even turned into paintings, like the one below:

If you’re interested in sitting for a portrait please get in touch and let me know, I’ll be starting this series next week. If you’re kind of interested and could possibly be persuaded then I still urge you to get in touch. Thanks!
