Black Oil Pastel

Film noir style drawing roughly 1m x 1m.

This was a drawing I did in college, 

I tried to create light and dark by only using black a white oil pastel as well as white spirit.

instead of using other colours to create different tones, 

I started the drawing on blue ink-washed card to give a cold feel to the overall image.

-not bad for my first pastel drawing I think!

Lowry Drawings

These drawings are drawn onto acetate with a 'Sharpie' pen;

 the whole image is layered up with blocks of colour 

that I printed off onto the acetate.

I also added samples of wallpaper to a few other drawings.

The white blocks you see on the drawings is white paint 

that is painted on the reverse side of the acetate.

Sketchbook example.

Original photograph I took at the Lowry in Salford Quays 

printed onto acetate and layered with the same  

block colours as before.

My love for Charcoal

This was my final piece in A-level 2009.

I'm not sure of the exact dimensions of this canvas but its roughly 2m x 2.5m.

Its a distorted image image originally of my Mother that I morphed on photoshop to create the Egon Schiele inspired piece.

It's a mixed media piece with materials including paint, latex, marker pen, charcoal, ink, strips of paper and glue.

One of my (Crumpled) drawings roughly 1m x 1m drawn with ink and charcoal only.

"Fabrick"

This piece was done in A-Level where I recreated the idea of a brick work pattern out of many different textiles and textures.

Italian Landscape Sketches

In 2008 I was chosen to attend a Cheshire County Council trip to Florence for 'talented art pupils'.

 During this trip we were able to sketch the landscape that surrounded our accommodation.
