 I begin all of my portraits by making a study on paper. I usually work from photo reference, collaging many different original photos into one final maquette to work from.  The step of making a study before I paint is an important one as I edit

I begin all of my portraits by making a study on paper.I usually work from photo reference, collaging manydifferent original photos into one final maquette to workfrom.  The step of making a study before I paint is animportant one as I edit and refine the image. There aredifferences between the maquette nand the study butnot many between the study and the final painting.I use charcoal, graphite and chalk separatly or incombination in these pieces.I enjoy drawing very much and not all shown here arestudies only. Some are finished pieces.janinefeb 2014
