ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Issac Newton’s Portrait is made with oil on canvas. He was born 1642, England. His father died three months before his birth. His mother remarried when Issac was three years old, and she left Issac with his grandparents. He grew up alone. Later he went to Cambridge University, however, in 1665-67 he left Cambridge because of the Great Plague. Legend has it that Newton got his inspiration for gravity during this period. He saw an apple fall from a tree on his farm, which lead him to ask why the apple fell straight down, rather than sideways or even upward. He showed that the force that makes the apple fall and that holds us on the ground is the same as the force that keeps the moon and planets in their orbits. Which lead to the theory of gravity, which I turn helped to explain the movement of the planets and the sun. He is quoted as saying “if I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants. In 1727, at the age of 84, Sir Isaac Newton died in his sleep and was buried with pomp and ceremony in Westminster Abbey in London. My Digital paintings, are created with a pressure sensitive stylus and ipad pro tablet with digital paint and brushes. Using the Procreate app, I use the same skills as I do when I paint in oils. All portraits are printed on Lambda Print on Fuji Crystal Archive DP II. Fuji Crystal Archive, matte with 1 cm white border, which provides exceptional image quality, longevity and protection.

Margot Stinton
United Kingdom
Biography Margot is a British based Artist currently in Herefordshire, United Kingdom. Margot studied a FdA in Creative Art Practice at Hereford College of Art, where she was encourage to research, take risks and be brave. Given the opportunity to explore and experiment with a wide range of disciplines. For example print making, small metals, ceramics, photography, drawing/painting, digital media and textiles has given her the skills and confidence to thrive on the course and beyond. The course gave her time to decide what she wanted to specialise in. She developed an independent practice and developed her own voice. Margot’s main artistic inspirations comes from the Renaissance Masters in particular, Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt and Andre Vercocchio’s ancient techniques. Margot’s main medium in her current artwork collection is working with silverpoint. Her themes are exploring the power of the moment - life. Appreciating moments that have passed and preserving her stories through words and drawings. Artwork Statement The ideas I use in mark-making is based on capturing life, my drawings are about capturing a moment, a moment that has gone forever, impossible to reproduce. The main characteristics I use in my drawings are descriptive, expressive and conceptual ideas. The drawing techniques used (such as hatching, cross-hatching, stippling, dabbling) help with different elements of my artwork to stand-out. I use chiaroscuro, the treatment of light and shade in a drawing. The first lines are very light and darks are slowly built up with overlaying lines and more pressure being used. I made dark tones with intersecting hatched lines. My ideas are based on capturing life, which record likeness, personality and character, with open intimacy. The sitter does not need to be validated, or match any expectation of a patron. I explore intimate emotions and artistic forms in more personal expressive ways. These ideas are present in my recent artwork. (“Woman with a Hat” drawing with Silverpoint, watercolour and acrylic on Legion paper.). This medium allows me to mark, shape, create line texture, contrast, form, scale and touch. I am inspired by the Renaissance Masters: Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt and Andrea Vercocchio’s unique and ancient technique. I find silverpoint drawings are exquisite, intimate artworks, the medium requires a meticulous and detail approach.
