A little clip of a recent #portrait #falkirkbusiness #falkirkartist #karenvandegraafartist

Here is a still from the #portrait reel I posted the other day. This was a sketch done with water based oil paints. (New to me as a medium...no too sure I'll love 'em) But hey good to try new stuff right? #faces #portraitartistinfalkirk #portraitoftheday #portraitpainting

As you may know. I spend a good amount of time drawing. Here is a little drawing I did the last couple of months at a #lifedrawing session in #Edinburgh Only a quick 30mins #sketch #charcoaldrawing #charcoalart #charcoal #karenvandegraafartist #Falkirkartist #falkirkbusiness

Been working on a commission recently, which has been keeping me busy. In the meantime I thought I'd let you know about a brilliant book I just finished reading... Well written, great story, I'd highly recommend it #smallpleasures #bookstoreadin2024

Afternoon everyone. Was at a very unusual life drawing session where the model forgot to come! A few of us took turns to sit (clothed of course) and I drew a few #portraits instead.. #karenvandegraafartist #falkirkartist #portraiture #portraitartist #novicemodel #facesofx

Another #portrait from last week. A lovely fellow artist sat for us all. He struck me as a determined, kindly soul. Have a good day, I'm going out for lunch today, right happy about that. #charcoaldrawing #charcoalsketch #fastportrait #karenvandegraafartist #falkirkartist

A drawing from a recent life drawing session. The drawing is on postcard sized paper. Have a good day. #man #karenvandegraafartist #pencildrawing #inkdrawing #karenvandegraafartist

Art in the making. Flicking through a shoe catalogue - this red shoe lace caught my eye. Figure I'm going to use it in a new #pheasant #collageartwork Wait and see where it goes? #karenvandegraafartist #britishbirds #scottishart #Scottishartist #scottishwildlife #scottishbirds

A man called Pete loves movies.  A backdrop of DVD cases highlights his strong distinctive features. #oilpaintings #portraitoftheday #portraitpainting #portraitartist #scottishartist #karenvandegraafartist #karenvandegraaf #facesfromlife #commissions #britishportraitartist

This was commissioned in memory of someone whose favourite flower was forget-me-not. Three loved ones are represented here by their favourite flowers, and the forget-me-not touches each. The faithful wee dog reminds us of ties that never break. #faces #portraitoftheday
