I`m really a self taught artist. A Geordie lad, hailing from a small mining village called Pegswood in Northumberland, originally, from Polish parents. I now live in Stannington, Northumberland, where I’m enjoying all that retirement has to offer. My art education began in earnest when I started a Foundation course in Graphic Design at Newcastle College, it was here that I really developed most of everything I do today, live portraits sketching etc. I served in the Metropolitan Police in London where, after 30 years service, I finally retired in March 2009 as the senior Police Arti...

I am a direct painter who loves to work from life. I know it isn't possible to do that always, but I feel my work is the freshest when I do. My style is colorful and impressionistic, not a photograph , but my depiction and interpretation of the subject . My work is full of emotion due to the trials of living life and my ability to capture someone's essence and spirit on the canvas. I love painting in oil, and pastel as well as charcoal and watercolor. If you sit for me live, don't expect that you will be still, as I enjoy the conversation that allows me to see within your soul and ca...

I am a classically trained italian artist and art is my true passion.

I specialize in both figurative art and portraiture and I equally enjoy painting portraits of people and pets. I paint in many different mediums, altough I favour pastels - both the dry and the oil ones - for their luminosity and sparkle while reflecting light, just like diamonds. ...

hello my name is İpek ; I love to paint all topics and technics except for watercolour. But for especially people and of course portrait mostly I prefer charcoal and soft pastel technic. My style is realism and romanticism. my all paintings' spirit is romantic. the picture I begin to paint may be more colourful or cheerful like summer but when I finish my painting, it becomes totally different from the picture. colours are soft like pastel colours and its spirit is romantic like autumn..I think I can't help it because my soul rebounds to my paintings..Finally, I hope you'd like them.. ...
