This blog shows the painting process behind a Child portrait painted entirely from life. From day 1 to the finished painting. My experience from painting Mathilda at 10yrs old was surprising in many ways. I not only thoroughly enjoyed it, but learned a great deal.
This month my student Jane and I are cast drawing and working through the steps toward painting a portrait from life.

Deborah who loves collecting art wanted to celebrate Her and Tod’s wonderful life together with a charcoal commission to hang alongside their collection at home.
Have you ever wanted to try painting ‘en plein air’ at your favourite spot but unsure of how to start? This Week I have been running an art workshop in Nyon & Geneva for artists of all abilities, with a wonderful group of people all different ages and levels.
