Mum oil painting

First of all, my mum doesn't look this old and scary in real life! I made it look this way as Lucian Freud was my influence, hence the depressed face!
 This was my first ever oil painting and is probably my best portrait I've done so far so I'm definitely going to use oil paints more often, whenever I can buy canvasses since you can't use them on paper!
 I hope to produce a lot more work like this soon which I'll use in portfolios when applying to university art courses as I really enjoy doing them and I think they show my ability well :)

Carrots & Roots biro sketch

Pablo Picasso sketch

A quick sketch of a Picasso piece I did in 2011 with graphite

Self portrait chalk pastel

I did this quickly during my GCSE art exam with different colour chalk pastels (mainly blues and greens) as I'd finished my main piece and decided to add more to my folder! I used different colours because I'd started  replacing colours in the project depending on the shadows and highlights of the face.
(I don't think this looks like me!)

Peter Howson's in chalk pastel

Two of my own replicas of Peter Howson's work done with chalk pastels. I love Peter Howson's exaggerated way of working on portraits and the top piece especially is one of my favourites, I could look at it forever! The colours and the cartoon like features are great and I'd love to do a portrait of my own in that style.

Peter Howson oil pastel

I did a copy of Peter Howson's work (not sure the name) using oil pastels. This was also for GCSE - I'll post more recent work once most of my old stuff is up!

Robert Cottingham "KRESGE'S"

A watercolour copy of Robert Cottingham's "Kresge's" - for a City/building project at GCSE in year 10 2010. Not my best but it's alright!
