By Patrick Palmer: I am a traditionally trained artist – I try to capture the beauty of the female form with a minimum of marks – you can recognise someone from 100 yards even though you cannot see any detailed features. Capturing this essence is what I am constantly trying to achieve.
I have a diploma from Heatherley’s School of Art in Chelsea and another at The National College of Art and Design, Dublin. I have also been given extensive personal tuition from a close friend of Francis Bacon and a senior lecturer at The Royal Academy.
I am now lucky to exhibit in 4 galleries in the UK and various art shows.
Anna Friel: I know Anna and really wanted to capture her. I was playing around with various colour washes as a background to standard charcoal drawings and I started this drawing on a scrap of paper as an experiment. This was a bit of a struggle but I was happy in the end. It sold at the Affordable Art Fair. The yellow-ochre colour made it.
