2020 - The Year of the Self Portrait

This crazy COVID year has been one of gazing into a reflective surface - be it a computer screen, window or mirror. I've done an unprecedented number of Self-Portraits in all moods, methods and media. Facebook has several Self-Portrait groups - I've been participating in Self Portrait Sundays - limited to posting only on Sundays. Media used here is Pastel, Acrylics and one Watercolour. 

Recent Figure Work

This term I filled a sketchbook with figure work done in Derwent Inktense watercolour pencils. I like the way they feel when I draw - working a bit smaller than usual and trying to maintaing a loose, but accurate style. I put the water on at home, where I can lay the paper flat for a bit of control. These sketches are anywhere from a few minutes to 15 minute poses with a variety of models. Some of them are still waiting to be painted - I'll post them later.
