Artist Richard Tooley

More Colored Pencil... Realism has become my primary discipline.

Although I use diverse techniques with a variety of media to create commercial

as well as fine art, I come back to realism often. I do not consider myself a "Photo Realist."

I take to many liberties with color, light and shade for the work to be "photo" realistic.

My subject choices are often common, yet overlooked, and unusual.

I began working with Colored Pencil as a

fine art medium in '92. I find it a very

responsive, and expressive tool that lends

itself well to the realism displayed here ...

I often use Colored Pencil in Mixed Media

applications.

They compliment and work well with

Pen and Ink, Airbrush, Graphite, Water Color

and Acrylic.

The examples shown on these pages are pure

Colored Pencil.

'Pick on Someone Your Own Size'

Richard Lovesey


 My interest in art began when I decided to capture Lincolnshire's rich aviation heritage in a series of graphite aircraft drawings. Having never drawn seriously before, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I possessed  a talent for it. This, coupled with positive encouragement from family and friends, inspired me to utilise my ability to provide people with a unique product at an affordable price.

 During 1999, I progressed away from graphite and began to experiment with colour, and have never looked back. With no formal training in art or drawing, I have mastered my own unique approach and technique through practical experience, using only the finest quality materials from Derwent, Faber-Castell and Caran d' Ache.

I work from home, in the historic market town of Louth, which sits in the heart of Lincolnshire's rich rural landscape at the foot of the rolling hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds. This area is designated an area of outstanding natural beauty and I find it a very inspiring place from which to work.

 The majority of my commissioned work takes the form of portraits. Children and pets are by far themost popular requests, although I like the opportunity to consider almost anysubject. I work solely from photographs because this approach allows me to take the necessary time over a picture, ensuring that I can achieve the best results.
