Previous Portrait Commissions
Charcoal & Pastel
Welcome to my previous commissions page. Here I have placed the portraits in order of age, the oldest ones at the bottom and the more recent towards the top. When I started out the style was loose and sketchy. As time has past I have slowly introduced chalk and buff paper so I can use the chalk to highlight areas, and more recently a gentle infusion of pastels with all the beautiful colour that comes with them. With the pastel I have been able to do more detailed work which I enjoy doing. Although I started out using Charcoal on white paper I now use pastel on coloured paper , which suits the depth of the colour more readily than white paper.
