Emma Reclining.
Acrylic on paper, 13th May 2010, 40 x 50 cm, Price EURO 300

Drawing from life is an integral part of my work even though most of my output is based on photographs
as source material. Painting and drawing the figure from life keeps me in touch with the true
colour and nature of flesh, which can be distorted in photographs.
It also forces me to learn to work fast and be decisive about where I make my mark,
whether in oil, acrylic, pastel or pencil.
There is also the social side of the life room, meeting other artists and swapping gossip and opinion.
