Julie Coverley

I have been dabbling with coloured pencil since I was at school. I went to an evening class in drawing and painting when my children were small, here I was encouraged to try my hand at watercolours. I soon gave these up as a bad job and found I got much better results with oils. I began to get regular commissions and was churning out pictures of dogs, cats pubs and people at a rate of about two per month. We then moved house and I found my workspace very limited. This is when I tried my hand at coloured pencil at a more serious level. I now work mainly on portraits of people and pets. I like to capture images of the outdoors which inspire me. I have been asked to produce portraits as diverse as a red and yellow macaw and a Harley Davidson!
