Chantelle Berg

My current portrait is of Chantelle Berg, fellow artist and amazing friend. This time I thought I would show you the process of my work. Firstly I select a photo or image of my model and grid it up. I then directly draw the image straight onto the watercolour paper, shading and all! Before I would laboriously make one copy then transfer it onto watercolour paper, but I found this was a waste of time, besides I am so impatient all I want to do is get the paint on!! Watch this space for the finished product...

What a face! Faces that are expressive like play doh are my favourite. The background I designed for this portrait reminded me of wallpaper best suited to a teenage boy's 1980's bedroom.

Portrait of Sam Mitchell. 4 x 5.5 inches.

There is a fine line between imaginary faces and real ones. This one is imaginary. I just love making up people that don't exist...or do they? This was the first portrait I had done with the green leafy background, initially inspired by Frida Kahlo. Her portraits always have a lush forest behind the model. This artwork I made as a greeting card, which I sent to my mum back in the U.K.

This is a portrait of my cousin Andrew.

Self Portrait

I've been bad! I forgot all about my wee blog. Lately I've been inspired a lot by the artist Daniel Mackie. I just love his watercolour designs. He seems to be on the ball with his blog posts too, which has in affect made me post this. yae! Hope you enjoy.
