Coloured Pencil Drawings

These paintings are all created using loose, random strokes of coloured pencil onto wooden panels that have been prepared with several coats of white gesso and sanded to a smooth, hard surface. They are relatively large for coloured pencil works and I slowly build up the layers of colour and tone until I achieve the depth I’m looking for. Final details are “subtracted” from the surface using a collection of erasers and scalpel blades and the surface is protected with several coats of matt artists varnish.
