Friends
This is an oil painting in a photorealistic style. It is an image of my friends sat on the edge of a boat over-looking the sea in Majorca. It personally holds great memories, which I have represented using the bold bright colours. I particularly like the shadows cast by the figures.
Glasses
This is a study of glasses in oils. I used just black and white paint to create this investigative piece into the way light is reflected onto glasses differently depending on their shape and size.
Dalmation
This is an oil painting of a dalmation dog. I wanted the keep the background plain, in order for the main focus to be the dog and the natural black and white colours to be emphasised.
Pheobe and Tessa
This is an oil painting of Pheobe and Tessa, my grandparents dogs. I kept the background white, to keep the focus on the dogs. I enjoyed creating the texture of the dogs fur. The natural shapes the paint brush created meant I had to do very little to emphasize the texture.
Pencil drawing
This is a pencil drawing of my Dad and my two year old twin brothers. I used a hard pencil, and tried to keep it a line drawing with little smudging. I think it has a very good similarity, and really shows their personalities.
