Biography
|
|
Born in Scotland in 1969, I enjoyed drawing and painting throughout my school years. However, I had a notion for a career in the health professions and, consequently, art took a back seat. After retiring due to my own health problems 8 years ago, however, I re-discovered art and quickly identified a love of, and talent for, pastel painting in particular. I then set about teaching myself as much as possible about drawing, painting and pastels-work from books, videos and from practical art classes and life-drawing classes. I now carry out portrait commissions (mainly of pets and children) and love to explore different painting techniques and mediums for my own pleasure.

Statement
|
|
Having worked seriously at drawing and painting, in particular in pastels, for the past 8 years, I have developed a love of painting living things. Thus most of my subjects feature adults, children or animals. I carry out portrait commissions on request (mainly of much-loved pets or children - but no subject is rejected.) If you would be interested in having a portrait done, all you need do is provide a photograph from which to work plus, preferably, several others of the subject so that I can get a feel for it. Please contact me via e-mail on gordon.dunlop@btinternet.com or by telephone on UK 01698 810862 (mobile 0796 270 4223). Prices, sizes, colour-schemes etc are all negotiable according to the buyer's preferences (and what is possible!!) If you are interested in any of the paintings shown in my portfolio on this site, please also contact me as above. Prices are given fully framed. Prices do not include postage and packaging. I hope you like my paintings and I would be very glad to hear from you. Also see my own website: www.dunloppastelportraits.co.uk
