Portraits in pastel have become my speciality and are the most popular choice. Pastels are dry sticks of pigment blended with chalk and china clay. I use fine pastel pencils on sanded paper to achieve realistic, delicate detail. The result is soft, rich colour with a velvety finish. Due to the level of realism, I will only paint pastel portraits of sitters whom I have met and photographed myself (this is included in the fee but may be subject to additional travel charge if not local).
I cover the area around my home in mid Wales (SY25 6DE) and I also make regular trips to Leicestershire, passing through the West Midlands. Clients are welcome to bring their animals to me at home where we have good facilities for taking photos, including a sand school for action shots. We can usually arrange overnight accommodation and stabling if you are travelling far.
