Two lovers on a beach, on the Isle of Barra


Inspired by a photograph of my eldest step-son and his girlfriend during a moment of leisure on a deserted, September beach, on Barra. It's charcoal and pencil on an emulsioned board background. I've left out the sand dunes, in the back ground, as I wanted to focus on the portraits. Both subjects were wearing dark clothing and the beach was pure white sand. The most difficult aspect was capturing a subject with open mouth and teeth showing! I'm not entirely happy with it, as the lady concerned is very photogenic and I'm not sure I do her justice but it is my interpretation, and I stick by it.

  1. Wow, I'm impressed! People are such a difficult subject - plus charcoal 'yuck' I get more on me than the paper
