Mind Markings

My first Reilly rhythms head. This is one of the drawing methods taught at the Watts Atelier #head #headdrawing #portrait #fineart #atelier #drawing #model #instaart https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Ok7aPAthm/?igshid=3cbuw00i8md5

This is a new skull-on-tripod setup that I’ve been working with. It’s ideal for life drawing as I can now tilt, raise and rotate the skull anywhere I need it. This was a drawing I completed this Wednesday. #create #instaart #portrait #model #skull #fineart #atelier #drawing #face #sketch #visualart #perthart #diy #bts (at Vasse, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxRe9tzg6Jl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jlcndb5y49za

I think it’s done. I started this one way back in November 2017 and basically left it for a whole year until I worked on it again. The process has been incredibly difficult due to ground adhesion problems and technical surprises. Yet, it seems to have come together. I hope you’ve all enjoyed the journey and I look forward to sharing more works with you soon.

Signing fine art giclée prints. This is a copy of Man at Night I.

I’m hoping to make a fair few of my works available as art prints in order to offer you all the chance to get a slice of one of my drawings/paintings. These are just a selection of some. Let me know if any of these interest you. :) #art #instaart #artprints #artforsale #fineart #archival #painting #drawing #design #originalart #visualart #portrait #figure #model #landscape #pleinair https://www.instagram.com/p/BsVhWJXhnxG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tp2o3xrb9bjz
