WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY VIEWING MY WORK

I am delighted to have been asked by a gallery in Northumberland to provide them with a portrait for display purposes and shall be working on this over the next couple of months.

I accept commissions for portraits and ideally I like to take my own photographs of the sitter.  However, if this is not possible due to distance etc, then I am happy to work from your own photographs providing that they are clear and with as much detail as possible.

If you are interested in commissioning a portrait then please email me for further information at pam@pamstevensonart.co.uk

'ALAN'

Sold!....my colour portrait of Alan.....another fantastic face from the festival scene.

Graphite sketch - 'Steve'

I've been having a fantastic time making lots of new friends at the folk festivals this summer and doing as much sketching as I can.  This one is of a lovely guy called 'Steve', who has a great collection of hats!

'MARLENE'

At last!....I've finally finished my drawing of 'Marlene'   - pencil on watercolour paper

 I have been studying the work of rhe Pre-Raphaelites and this drawing was an exercise in using layers of coloured pencils - on blue Fabriano paper.

 Master copy "Portrait of a Lady"   after Dante Gabriel Rossetti , 1870

PRELIMINARY COLOUR STUDY

This year I am going to work as much as I can with pastels and so this is a quick study of  'Ha', my beautiful Vietnamese friend.  I used a combination of soft pastels and coloured pencils.

Preliminary sketch for master copy

I began this preliminary drawing of Leonardo Da Vinci's "La Scapigliata" after having visited several art galleries whilst on a recent visit to New York and Philadelphia.  The proportions aren't quite right, but I think I shall re-work this as a master copy when I have more time.
