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.
