Bentley Drawing

Years ago, when a friend asked me to draw a portrait of his dog, I discovered how much I love making a work of art that has so much personal meaning. Each commission I create is a customized black and white graphite drawing which is very classic in style. After capturing my subject's essence in their eyes, I "grow" the portrait from there as though sculpting the finer details with a variety of graphite pencils, to bring my portraits to life. I work with clients all over the country, using photographs as reference for the final drawing. “You must hear this all the time, but it's worthy of repetition. Your portraits are stunning. The one you did of Marco is so realistic and true to the photograph I gave you. Every eyelash, whisker and hair on his head is just right. I can't wait to give this to my husband! Thank you so much.”
