Details
This drawing was completed in September/October 2016 in graphite Pencil.
A2 – 16.5 x 23.4 inches (420 x 594 mm).
This painting of a fox in the snow was taken from a series of photos on Google images. The fox that influenced this painting had a particularly bushy tail.
This picture was painted in January/February 2016 and is acrylic on acrylic paper.
A3 – 11.75 x 16.5 inches (297 x 420 mm).
This painting of a galloping horse was taken from a photograph I found while trawling through Google images. I particularly liked the energy of this horse and have tried to translate the feeling of movement into my painting..
This picture was painted in August 2015 and is acrylic on canvas.
A3 – 11.75 x 16.5 inches (297 x 420 mm).
The painting of a Yorkshire Wheatfield was made using acrylic paint.
This picture was painted in April 2015 and is my interpretation of a painting by David Hockney (Original = Wheat Field Near Fridaythorpe – August 2005 oil on canvas 91.5×122 cm). I tried to adhere closely to the original painting using acrylic paint rather than oil paint
A4 – 8.25 x 11.75 inches (210 x 297 mm).
I drew this for my Auntie Sara who is ill. I hope it cheers her up. I called it “Firework Flowers” because it looks like fireworks exploding in the sky. I originally looked for some photos online to get inspiration from, but in the end, I drew it from my imagination.
Firework Flowers is a pencil drawing with colour pemcils for the orange petals. It was drawn on A4 paper.
A4 – 8.25 x 11.75 inches (210 x 297 mm).
Having done a still life pencil drawing of an onion at school, I decided to try again using Oil Pastels on thin card.
Although you can’t see it here, I also coloured the back of the card in blue. When you shine a bright light through the card, it makes the picture come alive and seem more textured.
The onion was drawn on card using Oil Pastels.
A5 – 8.3 x 5.8 inches (210 x 148 mm)
This was a simple decoration for a card drawn from imagination. It was given as a gift and now sits on a table in a bay window in a grand house in the Dorset countryside.
The original was drawn with graphite pencils on coloured paper and was to be part of a home-made thank-you card. Instead, it was displayed with an off-white external mount in a professionally made wood and gilt frame.
A7 – 4.1 x 2.9 inches (105 x 74 mm).
This was my first attempt at using spray paint from a can. It’s not easy to get straight lines or clearly defined images as droplets of paint seem to have a mind of their own.
Sprayed onto paper using cans of Humbrol Acrylic Spray Paint, cut cardboard shapes and masking tape.
A4 – 8.25 x 11.75 inches (210 x 297 mm).
