Carl Barnes

I'm a self taught art hobbyist..... love drawing in charcoals & soft pastels.... occasionally try oils.... figures & portraits are my thing, with a splash of surrealism ... I have never have had formal training, so I am keen to learn how to draw, shade, get those tones and most importantly add character & atmosphere to my drawings... Then I may try more oil painting, but at the moment I am very happy playing around, mainly with monochrome/charcoals, and sometimes colour with soft pastels... but first its all about charcoals for me and my journey.
