NAME Ivan Jones

LOCATION Herefordshire, United Kingdom

DID YOU HAVE ANY FORMAL TRAINING? No, Though I Do Have A Veterinary Background And Passed A-Level Art At 16 Years Old

SUBJECT OF CHOICE Any Mammal Or Bird 

MEDIUM OF CHOICE Pastel

WHAT INSPIRES YOU? As I Work Largely From Photographs, Any Image That Strikes A Chord Will Inspire Me To Create My Artworks. I Feel Pastels Have A Great Vibrancy And Richness Of Colour That Is Often Under Appreciated. I Like To Give Each Piece A Three Dimensional Effect And Detail Os Of Importance To Me. Each 12 Inch By 16 Inch Artwork Takes Me Between 25 And 30 Hours To Complete.

DO YOU HAVE ANY ARTISTIC AMBITIONS THAT YOU ARE WORKING TOWARDS? Creating My Detailed Pastel Artworks Is Purely A Hobby In Retirement. However My Main Aim Is To Keep My Website And Social Media Updated ( With The Support Of My Wife ) So That I Can Undertake Commissions And Sell Art From My Website.
