One Line & Minimalist

In drawing this I wanted to capture a sense of self acceptance in the image. The subject is totally at ease with herself. There is a feeling of playfulness, freedom and abandon in her movement.

If you familiar with Leonard Cohen's song 'Tonight Will Be Fine' you will see how it influenced the piece as it was playing while I drew.

The focus of this range is to capture the essence of the subject with the minimal use of line. The one line pieces are, as the name suggests, drawn with a single
line, the pen or brush never leaving the paper., creating deceptively simple images.

The title for this piece came to me as I drew it. It is unique in the series in that it only depicts half of the subject. It leaves me with the feeling that whilst I can see her, she remains out of reach.

I am not alone in my admiration for Audrey Hepburn. Not only was she a great actress but a woman who overcame much adversity and gave so much back to the world. She was the inspiration for this piece. There is something in the posture that shows a woman who is totally confident and independent.

This is one of my favourite drawings. For me it captures all the possibility and belief that every young woman should recognise. The girl in the image instinctively knows she is capable of anything and furthermore knows that she will achieve whatever she chooses to.

It is a popular and unique gift for women of all ages on any occasion. I hope it reminds every woman to believe without doubt that she is capable of anything.

This minimalist pieces In this collection strip away as much of the subject as possible. This creates an element of wonder for the viewer as the imagination and memory try to complete the scene. It can be a very emotive experience as the image emerges from what is actually being seen and from what exists in the viewer’s own mind.
