A quick note for anyone visiting my website from today onwards is that my new website is now live.
I've had to quickly rebuild the whole site from top to bottom after my previous website platform crashed for reasons beyond my control. I've used it as an opportunity to rebuild it in a better format and it's now online again. It also has a direct option to buy a custom portraits in my online shop, but I still accept the normal method of placing orders by email or phone. Please bear with me if everything is not perfect at this early stage, or send me an email if you have a question. After almost a full year of not adding any updates to my portfolio or blog-pages, I hope the new format will allow me to be to be more active with posting new work. If you spot anything that you think needs improving or is missing then I welcome and feedback. Many thanks for visiting. http://www.portraits-online.com/art-blog/my-new-portrait-website-goes-live 
Edwardian town house pencil portrait drawing
A detailed pencil drawing of an Edwardian town house in the UK. Each brick was drawn individually; the trick is to make a slight impression in the paper first for the mortar joints with a very hard 2F pencil. This leaves a slight indentation in the drawing paper to allow the relief areas of the bricks to be more accurately drawn over the top with softer, darker pencils.

Watercolour painting of an old Scottish house
A watercolour painting of an old Scottish house built from sandstone.
The gateway helped to add more depth to the composition by taking your eye through the picture. The slight angle also makes the composition by showing some of the side of the house too. old URL: http://www.portraits-online.com/art-blog/old-scottish-house-portrait-painting-in-watercolour 
A pencil portrait drawing of a black Labrador Retriever
This black Labrador Retriever is another example of how black fur still works well in graphite pencil, and an example of a full body composition.
The final portrait size was A3 size which I have to scan as two A4 scans and stitch together. I'm considering upgrading to an A3 size scanner sometime as I'm sure it would save a whole load of time for scanning and give more detail. Maybe next year! I finish most of my dog portraits with some context detail, especially when the dog is sitting. In this example I lightly drew some of the grass around his paws. http://www.portraits-online.com/art-blog/labrador-retriever-portrait-graphite-pencil-drawing |
