Sometimes I like to sketch something in pastels and this little picture was the result of sitting in the Carfax at Horsham with my pastel box. I wanted it to stay fresh, so I did not attempt to stylise it or redo it in oils or acrylic.

About angela brittain
Each work I create has a search for “rightness” – an attempt to solve complex and often self-imposed compositional problems. They often have a tension below the surface.
I work mainly in acrylics on board.
People fascinate me but I’m not sure that I made a conscious decision to make people central to my work or if this subject chose me.
I have a Diploma in Art and Design and worked for several years as a graphic designer and illustrator before finally returning to my first love of drawing & painting in 2008.
I have taught art to children and adults and currently offer one-to-one workshops from my home studio in West Sussex.
I have recently been elected as an Associate Member of the Society of Women Artists (SWA) and exhibit in London and the South.
