The process usually starts with an informal photoshoot. The aim is to capture a series of photos that I can work from. It doesn’t take too long and can either be at my studio in Hampshire, or I can to travel to you.
I typically draw using sanguine chalk onto paper I’ve treated with a tint. Black chalk is also an option should that be preferable.
The size of each portrait framed measures 42cm x 49cm based on a 3” mount, as pictured below, and can be supplied framed or unframed. All of these things we can discuss at the outset of the commission.
“Emily is the most talented artist I know! She has a rare gift of capturing the subtle features that portray so much of a child’s character. Emily has drawn all four of our children, and each portrait encapsulates so much of their unique natures.
Our children have all loved sitting for Emily whilst she takes photos and have all been able to relax and be themselves. We feel hugely grateful to have these four timeless drawings.”
