portrait 9-4-21 is a medium scale portrait painting in inks, watercolours, Acrylic and soft pastels on 200gms paper.
The use of fluid mediums such as inks, watercolours and acrylics allows for a certain element of chance within the drawing and are produced quickly using expressive marks and stains, giving them an ‘imperfect’ or vulnerable feel, which in turn gives the work an exciting vitality and energy. Although the drawing is representational and figurative it intends to suggest, rather than depict an accurate observation of the subject.
