Process
• My artistic journey begins with capturing the essence of a subject through loose charcoal sketches, their boldness mirroring the initial encounter.
• Watercolor washes follow, building soft layers of light and mood like whispered secrets.
• Colored pencils then dance across the canvas, their meticulous strokes weaving intricate details into life.
• Finally, graphite takes center stage, its delicate contours etching out character lines and quiet strength with each measured stroke.
• Every medium becomes a tool to unlock the soul of my subject, a symphony of texture and color culminating in a portrait that resonates with life and emotion.
