People Portraits
info@margitvanderzwan.comMy favourite technique for making people portraits is to work with pen and ink, adding a watercolour wash later. My style can be described as bold and colourful, but depending on the brief I use all sorts of media.
I work from photos, especially when painting children. In order to really get to the heart of my subject it’s useful to know a bit about their character. Size tends to be A3 but this can be discussed.
All works are signed and dated, and every care is taken to post it to you.
Order via email or my shop on Etsy.
