So what better way to spend an evening than drawing caricatures sat next to my dream car – and it was the right colour!

There was a private gathering of art lovers who were entertained by a living statue, singer and me whilst browsing some stunning works of art. What a fantastic place to draw caricatures surrounded by some of the world’s most talented artwork – I was in heaven! Whitewall galleries (link to facebook) are stunning places to visit, the staff really know the art world and are happy to help you even if you are new to buying art, there is also something for all budgets so I would urge you to visit Whitewall and see for yourself .

The spot I was drawing caricatures for the guests

I’ve worked here a few times and reports from the guests have always been very positive – so if you’re looking for a quirky location you should take a look it really is fun!

After much fiddling and drawing I now have specific brushes which are similar to my traditional pens. Happy with the results I’ve done a couple of events and they seem to be well received When working live with Ipad Pro, I take a wireless printer with me so each person gets a postcard size picture but I can also hook up to a large screen so people can watch me draw. The beauty with tech though is that I also upload all the images to the cloud, provide guests with a link and they can go along and download the image digitally – so it doesn’t matter if you spill beer on your hard copy as the original is always available to download.

Below are a few examples of my black and white / colour Ipad Pro styles and here is a link if you want to see a video of Ipad Pro Sketching – Just me doing some evening practice sketches :-

For Christmas my wife kindly got me a great fountain pen and clutch pencil set. I had seen this guy at a local show in Bracknell he creates unique pens from wood or plastic. The designs are only limited by your imagination as he can use several different colours and types to create patterns and shapes. The quality of the work is second to none and the prices I thought very reasonable. I chose a light oak with an even lighter beech trim, the pen is well balanced and draws / writes really well. The pencil has a bit more width to the body and is nice to hold and sketch with. Pop over to his site and take a look at some of the wonderful designs he has created pensunique

I decided to draw two chaps for an advert which I am running to be shown on the TV’s around the ground – I chose Anton Ferdinand, a defender and Manager Steve Clarke. These were produced in my studio, I hand draw with a brush pen then either colour up using pencils or as in this case scan in and colour up using Photoshop. Caricatures from photos (using pencils) start from only £15 making it very affordable – the Photoshop ones start out from £85 which includes a frame so they are ready to hang or place on the sideboard.

It will be great to feel a small part of the Reading Football Club, I think a team caricature picture would look pretty good in the stadium

I was drawing at Coppid Beech Hotel Bracknell yesterday at the wedding fair. I enjoy doing the wedding fairs as it gives me the opportunity to show my style of caricatures to prospective wedding customers. It’s a long day but well worth it and people leave with lots of goodies – I always manage to wangle some really nice cake!

Take a look on my Home page for the next wedding fair I will be attending, come along and see something different, let me draw you, see what fun can be had by having a kind  caricaturist at your wedding

I caricature weddings, parties corporate etc around the Berkshire area in addition to travelling so where ever your event is taking place give me a shout.
