MATILDA

Live drawing portrait in graphite and pastel. Art is 11x14 inches on Crane cotton paper.

 
 

MARIA FRANZ of HEILUNG

I based this piece on Maria Franz of the band Heilung. I wanted to use their themes and music to set up a mystical forest setting. This relates to their music and atmosphere. Pastel and graphite on Stonehenge paper. Art is 40.5 x 61 cm.

 
 

TAYLOR MOMSEN

Taylor is the singer and songwriter for the band The Pretty Reckless. This was done with graphite and pastel on Strathmore 400 series paper.

Portrait of Taylor Momsen from the band The Pretty Reckless. Graphite and pastel on paper.
 
 

ALEAH STANBRIDGE

Aleah was the singer and one of the songwriters for the band Trees Of Eternity. I worked with the music themes and their name to place her in a forest. I wanted it to have a quiet walking through the trees setting with the glow she radiated. Art is graphite and pastel on Strathmore 400 series paper.

 

ORIGINAL THEMES

These are pieces based on my own themes. I am always looking to create an atmosphere in my art.

 

EXPERIMENTS IN WHITE

Drawings of flowers from reference in the park and studio. Graphite and watercolor on Crane cotton paper.

 

FEATHER HAT

Portrait of woman in victorian costume. This reminds me of the Mina character in DRACULA. Portraits in costume are always more interesting to draw. Graphite and pastel on Crane cotton paper.
