I am a self-taught illustrator and portrait artist.

I am a self-taught illustrator and portrait artist. I last received formal art training at school in 1976 when I completed my Art O Level. Although it was a subject I had enjoyed for as long as I can remember I was persuaded to follow a different career path. So it wasnt until 2011, that I was able to resume my love of art and joined some local groups. I initially concentrated on watercolours but I was disappointed by the results and it was only when I started using graphite and coloured pencils that I achieved the accuracy and detail I was seeking.
