I wondered what it would be like if famous artists from history were on Portrait Artist of the Year. So I picked 9 artists – Vincent Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dali, Raphael, Claude Monet, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Leonardo da Vinci. They are all hard at work creating a portrait of their sitter (the viewer). Behind them on the wall are their submission pictures.
The original artwork was hand drawn by me in fine line pens and then painted with watercolours. It is on unframed A2 Daler Rowney 300gsm textured aquarelle paper (594mm x 420mm, 23 3/8 inches x 16 1/2 inches).
It will be signed, titled and dated on the back with my proof of authenticity.
It will then be sealed in a cellophane envelope and shipped in a sturdy postal tube via special tracked delivery.
I have sketched, drawn and painted things for as long as i can remember. Its been the one continuous life long hobby for me.....and now its my day job.
Growing up on the outskirts of London i was lucky that i could jump on a train and get into the centre to visit all of the galleries and museums quite frequently. I spent many afternoons sketching sculptures and famous works of art.
Formal Art study ended for me after A levels (6th form) i didn't feel engaged for some reason. I had won the school art competition and i guess i must have felt like i had reached my zenith ! Other things then filled my life but i always loved everything that is art.
I love many different genres of music, literature, films, nature and of course Art in all of its forms. What i most admire is how much effort all of the people involved have expended trying to create something different. Some have given their whole lives at great personal expense in the pursuit for something new.
