Figures
& Faces

PASTEL PORTRAITS
It’s forever fascinating to me
to discover the endless variations
in the structures of faces and bodies
The paintings in this gallery represent both commissioned work, and some are simply studies from professional models. I aim to represent the structure and forms in an interesting way, and to capture some of the subject’s mood of the moment, as I can discern it.
See notes on the media choices of pastel chalk plus water color here.
