Honey De Lacey

My portrait drawings started from the realisation that I can remember faces and put them into illustrations. I do portraits in a very personal and unique way. I do working drawings, in one sitting, noting the colours she sees, which enable me to recall expressions and details of each character, before completing the finished drawing. The drawings are done using pastels and Conté in earth colours; painting in the fine details in pastel. An individual head and shoulders drawing can be up to life size. For group drawings I do individual working drawings before putting it all together in the finished piece.
