Though not professionally trained, I have always had a love for art and architecture, and because of this my drawings are mainly of architectural subjects, as reflects in my portfolio.

Working mainly from photographs I do find that it does help occasionally to take a few preliminary sketches. Sometimes you can’t get the clarity of small detail and light from a photograph.

I work in Pen and Ink on textured watercolour paper, this helps when you are trying to give a textured look to the masonry and trees. Because I use textured paper, I use Faber-Castell drawing pens; I find that using a nib, it tends to sometimes flick on the pits of the paper and depending on the stage of the drawing, this can be a bit of a headache. Finally I apply a series of Indian ink washes to give the subject the depth, feel and hopefully the character of the original subject.
