Portrait Drawings

by Kelly Borsheim

I have always felt weak in my depiction of faces. And I am not fond of my weaknesses. So, while working in Florence, Italy, I tried to squeeze-in some time to do strictly portraiture and improve my skills. The drawings you see here are of other artists. We take turns posing for each other. We often do four two-hour sessions over the course of two weeks.

I tried to link each artwork image to my blog on the first entry in which I shared my process of each individual work. Click on the image if this interests you.

All drawings are for sale, unless noted otherwise. Please contact the studio or one of the galleries, if interested in one or more of my original portrait drawings. Thank you.

Art, like mathematics, is simply determining the relationship between things.
