Portrait Study
This is a painting that I have been completing under the guidance of Dr David Cranswick. It has been through many stages so far and will probably have another sitting or two before I will consider it complete. To see step-by-step images as well as a couple of close-ups, click on the link below.

Life Study
Oil on canvas, 2006. This life study was completed during a life drawing workshop, which meant working fast and with fewer layers than I am used to. It was fun to be a little looser with my brushstrokes.
Life Study
Oil on Canvas, started 2006. I'm not sure what I'm doing with this piece... it started as a rapid oil sketch during a life drawing workshop, and every now and then I slap some extra paint onto it to see what happens. Who knows what it will look like next week.

Emulsion on paper
Left-handed Life Sketch (Royal Academy)
Charcoal on paper, 2006. This rapid sketch was completed at the Royal Academy's life drawing studio in summer 06. At the time I found left-handed drawing unbearably difficult, but in retrospect this is my favourite drawing completed that day.... I don't think I could have achieved such a loose finish with my right hand!

Oil on canvas, 2003.
Glen in Negative
Oil on canvas 2002. This was a fun experiment, to create an oil painting that mimics a pixelated photograph. Because I based it on a negative photograph, the subject was not too impressed to see that his shirt had become yellow!
