Portraits

I enjoy painting portraits in watercolour.  The portraits are in my ‘big head ‘ style so they are not realistic and everyone looks about 3 years old.  I try and capture what the sitter is wearing and a little bit of their personality.  I often paint them doing their favourite thing.  I get great inspiration from conversations I have with kids while painting them.

I do portraits of children, grown ups and pets.  If you would like me to paint, you a portrait come along to a market or contact me to arrange a sitting.  The sitter does not have to sit still. A quick A4 and A3 portrait takes less than half an hour but I can do more detailed portraits on canvas or framed quality paper.  I used to paint from photographs but I can't keep up with orders and I miss out on meeting great kids.
