Work on Paper This is a small selection of the hundreds of drawings I produce each year, many of them brief sketches, some worked over several days. It enables me to know what it is I'm drawing, all the better toallow a certain amount of relaxaxtion in the paintings. I take great pleasure in working from classical paintings, especially Poussin, Titian & Velazquez. It gives me a greater understanding of the way the spaces are arranged within paintings in general.
