I may be attracted to the mellow light and shade creating seamless edges; drifting in and out of focus.
Or perhaps the eclectic mix of music, textures or colours may be the inspiration for a portrait.
Although each portrait essentially begins the same way – with discussion, planning, sketching, watercolour washes and glazes – ultimately the creation of each portrait is an individual experience.
Often for me, as an Artist, the experience is cathartic; essentially we grow from the experience.
