Skyarts Portrait Artist of the Week – Clive Myrie

Just something to keep me busy – the Skyarts Portrait Artist of the Week program uses celebrity sitters, and last Sunday it was the journalist Clive Myrie. I thought I would give it a go after a long break from portrait commission drawing, to see how I get on. I don’t have the attention span and focus I once had, so tried charcoal to cover the ground faster. My choice of paper was silly as I just grabbed what I had lying around. It is very smooth and probably the most unsuitable paper for the medium that there is. Still, it kind of worked, I might do this again.
