Heather - Pastels

Practising the art of portraiture I'm finding is an enjoyable challenge, requiring the learned visual skill of knowing what to leave in and what to leave out. 

I was captivated by the floppy hat Heather chose to wear while posing for our group.

Faces are the most interesting things we see; other people fascinate me, and the most interesting aspect of other people – the point where we go inside them – is the face. It tells all. (David Hockney)
