CHARLOTTE ASHENDEN PORTRAITS
If you’ve ever considered a painting of your child or beloved pet, for yourself or a special gift for a loved-one that will be a life-long treasure, then I may be able to help you! I’m a portrait artist who’s just moved to Norwich.
Medium
I paint children, adults, animals and houses, and offer a variety of mediums: oils, watercolour or charcoal pencil each have a different character and are wonderful in their own way!
Method
I have many years’ experience and work from sittings or photographs. The latter are indispensable as both children and pets find sittings boring/impossible! I’m more than happy to come to you (health rules permitting) for a relaxed photo session in your home using natural light, or you’re most welcome to email me a clear, high res image. I work easily from them with excellent results.
I love focusing on capturing, not just a true likeness, but that inner individuality, the ‘spark’ and spirit that makes our loved ones themselves. I’ve always been fascinated by the beauty of the human face – someone’s gorgeous colouring, or the kindness in their expression, or the angle of their eyebrows or chin – and how our features work together to reveal a character who’s different from anyone else we know. The same is true for animals. I love depicting this individuality on paper or canvas and have often gone up to total strangers (poor things) to ask if they’ll let me paint them…or their doggies!
Lead time
I like to deliver a portrait within four to six weeks (although usually longer for oils). However, it’s sometimes possible to fit in something sooner if urgently needed for a birthday present etc, so it’s always worth checking!
So if this sounds interesting to you, I look forward to hearing from you and chatting about your ideas. I can also email relevant examples of my work (always with the client’s consent), and give you different price points to help you decide.
