I work mainly in Pastels in a detailed realistic style but I also enjoy using Pen & Wash. Pastels are my favourite medium as I am creating pictures with my hands rather than using a paint brush. A lot of my work is done on commission with pictures going worldwide. I love to draw a variety of subjects such as Landscapes, Portraits and Animals. When drawing landscapes I favour mountain scenes for which I try to capture the play of light on the landscape. My focus with both animals and portraits is to capture a feeling/look in the expression and posture.
In 2003 I started teaching adults by running pastel and drawing workshops in North Wales as well as running demonstrations and workshops for many art groups across North Wales and Cheshire. For more details go to www.slwagstaff.co.uk
