In this week’s Drawing Faces class we drew Van Dyck’s portrait of Cornelis van der Geest. I love studying work by great painters – I learn so much about their painting style and use of colour. But I always struggle to scan or photograph coloured pencil drawings – if you have any tips on how to do this I’d love to know!
I love drawing things. These days I am rarely found without a pen, pencil or stylus in my hands. In my working life I spend a lot of time in meetings and classrooms, reading papers and strategies, so my home life provides a creative antidote to all that! I also have chronic pain, lots of it. I have scoliosis, fibromyalgia and CRPS, so my life is a balancing act, trying to balance work, which make me feel part of the real world, with pain, which is ever present, and art, which soothes my pain.
