#56: Three Portraits, One Submission
After weeks in the studio refining and reworking three very different portraits, I’ve finally submitted my entry for Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year. Each piece represents a different aspect of my practice right now — from the expressive colour of What I was and what I’ve become, to the vertigo-inspired …and the world keeps on spinning, and a monochrome portrait of Olivia Colman that returns to the foundations of my work.
#55: A Self-Imposed Deadline
With one week left before my self-imposed deadline for Portrait Artist of the Year, the studio feels focused and deliberate. After a turbulent process, my main portrait is finally settling — and alongside it, a quick black and white study of Olivia Colman has reminded me where my work began.
