The Eyes of a Child

“Only those who look with the eyes of children can lose themselves in the object of their wonder” – Eberhard Arnold

Portrait Drawings

“There are only two styles of portrait painting, the serious and the smirk” – Charles Dickens

For this collection of works I used pastels (both chalk, charcoal, and oil). I wanted to give these portraits a painterly feel compared to a regular pencil drawing. I wanted to capture these children’s identity and personality through my work.
