My more mature work seeks to express a contemplative nature. These works have manifested in a compilation of portraits. The focal point of my protraits is thier gaze, as in the Egyptian Ka, Which establishes a link between our huan soul, and our cosmic environment. For the small drawings I use a photo process paper as a base and apply a color wash in a controlled manner which creates a frottage like surface. Colored pencil is then applied over he base wash and accentuates the inherent textural qualities of the wash.
Volume is created by shading and color selection establishes the emotional content of the drawing.
My large drawings utilize the same wash technique, but are executed on a hot press paper, and act in a confrontational manner because the scale is dramatically altered.
