THE BEGINNINGS OF NEW DRAWINGS
This is how I start my work by approaching a new sketch.On the left you can see an image showing the rough lining and blocking in of pencil/graphite measuring up point against point from parts of the face against each other. Hopefully if I start with a good and accurate beginning the rest falls into place and I manage to get a finished sketch or drawing that produces a likeness.
SOME RECENT COMMISSIONS IN THE FORM OF WOODCUTS OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS
I was asked to produce something in the form of a woodcut of SAUL Church in Co.Down, N.Ireland. A difficult theme in regards of capturing the local scene as well as the essence of a religious landscape which the client holds close to them on a personal level.
