Tamsin-Dearing-Title-Pencil
A highly realistic and detailed coloured drawing of a very wrinkly Vietnamese woman. She is wearing a gold coloured woven hat and a blue blouse with a small pink and light blue pattern on it. She is looking straight at us and has grey hair tied back, and a large gold hoop earring in her left ear. She is smiling broadly which is visible in her eyes and the lines on her face. Her right hand completely covers her mouth. Her thumb and fingers are stained a vivid blue from hand dyeing with indigo which stands out against the warm colours of her skin. Fine art realistic coloured pencil drawing portrait by Tamsin Dearing Cornish portrait artist. Beneath the portrait are the logos for the Pastel Society and Tamsin Dearing the Artist.

Exhibiting in the Pastel Society 2021 Show

I am delighted to announce that my coloured pencil drawing An Age of Indigo has been selected to be a part of the upcoming Pastel Society exhibition. This show will be held at London’s Mall Galleries in April 2021. It was due to open in January but due to national restrictions the decision was made to postpone the physical exhibition till the Spring.

All selected works in this exhibition are able to be viewed and purchased at the Mall Galleries website.

This news is a wonderful way to round off the year for me. After being selected to exhibit in both the Society of Women Artists and the ING Discerning Eye virtual shows this year, news that my artwork will be seen in a physical exhibition in a matter of weeks is very exciting. I make art primarily for my own pleasure, and to know that others enjoy it too is always a delight. Though to have this recognition of my skill, and in turn all the years of hard work that have allowed me to draw like this, is really encouraging and appreciated.

Many thanks go to Réhahn Photography for his most inspiring reference image.
