Eyes are the windows to the soul, so they say. These two drawings were done in the same way as my Misty Mountains - I wanted to achieve a soft unfocused image where the eyes became the focus of the pictures. I think I achieved this.
Hi Heather. Were these also done with the method of blotting, or was it pencil directly onto wet paper? I am dying to try this method of yours and have bought some hand made paper to use instead of roller towel!
I was born in the North of England and came to South Africa 49 years ago and Cape Town has been my home since then. After studying and working at the West of England College of Art and Bristol University, I worked as a creative visualiser in a studio in Bristol. Whilst working in Europe I received commissions for interiors of large corporation offices and designed the exhibition stand at the Hanover International Fair. I have exhibited in Richmond, Western-Super-Mare and the Crain Calman Gallery in Knightsbridge. I also had work on show at the Barnes Gallery in London and in 1981 my work was exhibited in Moscow. Since coming to South Africa, I have done numerous portraits of some well know people.
