A graphite portrait in black and white. The discipline of the medium is its restraint: tonal range, line weight, and surface — nothing else. The result is a portrait that reads as portraiture in its older sense, with the sitter foregrounded against an unworked field.

Approach

A commission begins with a conversation about the sitter, the desired scale, and the reference photography. The portrait is built in graphite with the patience the medium asks for; small studies precede the final work where the sitter's likeness benefits from them.

Use

A long-form portrait, sized for private display. Framed presentation is arranged at delivery.

Acquisition
