Click on the slide show to the left to see examples of my graphite, colored pencil, and painting styles. Below is a brief description of each:

Graphite Pencil: My graphite designs are drawn upon either white museum board or acid-free vellum paper (white or antique-white). Graphite pencil is a beautiful medium. I can draw lightly for a soft effect, or use very soft pencils for rich black shades.

Colored Pencil: I just love working with colored pencils. I draw upon acid-free matboard, pastel paper, or vellum paper. (choice of colors) Colored pencil can look almost like paint! I use Prismacolor pencils which are soft and practically melt onto the surface.

Acrylic & Oil Paintings: My acrylic and oil paintings both come with either a standard frame or can be painted upon stretched canvas that is staplefree around the edges so that a frame isn't needed. (very popular style right now). I can achieve either subtle or dramatic color schemes with both paints. For fine details, I typically prefer to work with acrylics because they dry faster.

For more examples of my work, please visit my online gift store and browse the large numbers of designs I have there. I can reproduce any style you see in my catalog to create a CUSTOM portrait or drawing/painting for you! I accept all commissions including portraits and various subject matters.
