Another portrait…I just finished reading ‘To The Lighthouse’. / / Virginia Woolf (January 25, 1882 – March 28, 1941) was an English novelist and essayist regarded as one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century. / During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a member of the Bloomsbury Group. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), and Orlando (1928). more / / Charcoal and white conte crayon on brown paper. / / This was drawn from a photo taken in 1902 by George Charles Beresford (Public Domain). / /

Bluegirl; she started a revival in my work. I am proud of her. It had been a while (years) since I’d produced anything, anything I was proud of. Working on her was akin to coaxing a fossil from the ground. Where an archaeologist might use a soft brush, my conté smoothed the paper away from her. Revealing her curve – her shape – her mood. Working as I do, on a flat table, walking circles around the work, conversing with it, singing to it (she likes Led Zeppelin); often with my face millimetres from the page, I can say I know her well. Very well. I hope you enjoy her company also.

Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel (15 November 1891 – 14 October 1944) was one of the most famous German field marshals of World War II. He was the commander of the Deutsches Afrika Korps and also became known by the nickname “The Desert Fox” for the skillful military campaigns he waged on behalf of the German Army in North Africa. / / Rommel’s military successes earned the respect not only of his troops and Adolf Hitler, but also that of his enemy Commonwealth troops in the North African Campaign. An enduring legacy of Rommel’s character is that he is also considered to be a chivalrous and humane military officer in contrast with many other figures of Nazi Germany. more / / Black and white conte pencil on brown paper. Drawn from a famous photograph taken of him during WWII, original photographer unknown. / /

And now, for something completely different… Captain Charles Upham VC and Bar (September 21, 1908 – November 22, 1994) was a New Zealand soldier who earned the Victoria Cross twice during the Second World War: in Crete in May 1941, and at Ruweisat Ridge, Egypt, in July 1942. He was only the third person to receive the VC twice, the only person to receive two VCs during the Second World War and the only combat soldier to receive the award twice. more / / New Zealand’s most highly decorated war hero. / / Charcoal, white conte crayon and graphic pen on brown paper. / / This was drawn from a famous 1941 photo taken of Charles Upham on the field – original photographer unknown. The original photo was used with the kind permission of the Alexander Turnbull Library of New Zealand. / /

Conte on paper. A soft, delicate rendering of my new model who exemplifies femininity. (I thought I had already put this on, but just goes to show I am getting absent minded!)

A conte drawing I did of my best friend during uni days… the paper was quite large, and it took me quite a few hours. He had a great face for drawing… very big eyes and expressive features.

I decided to add some color to my drawings. I used four colors in this drawing – black charcoal, white charcoal, sepia Conte, and dark sepia Cretacolor on 24”x18” bristol vellum paper. When I decided to draw an orangutan, the director of RedApes.org contacted me about the drawing before I’d even begun, which gave me the idea for the drawing. “What the Future Holds” is symbolic of the plight of these most endangered of all the great apes. There are two species, the Sumatran (more endangered) and Bornean. This drawing represents the Bornean orangutan, whose hair is shorter and darker than its Sumatran relative. I will be donating a portion of my profits to orangutan conservation.

This is a sketch of a full colour canvas of Thomasina done in conte in a very William Russell-Flint style. It was originally reproduced in black & white by a publisher, but I prefer it in the original conte colour which is why I have placed it on here.
