Working with professional models is a privilege. I draw other people too, successfully and less so. Apart from the ability of a professional to hold poses, they don’t have any expectations from the artist. When I’m drawing or painting non-professionals, some, by no means all, can find it difficult to see themselves as I see them. The likenesses are usually pretty accurate but sometimes I see things they might have never noticed, or have been ignoring. More on this in the next post.
I have a digital exhibition on the Swansea Print Workshop site. It’s a story in words and images of my journey to Pakistan back in 2007 and how it subsequently led me to work with a pre-historian and a filmmaker for three years travelling across the wild areas of South Wales.
Please click on the link below to see the exhibition, I hope you enjoy it. Thanks xxx
