Artist Bio: Monika Barbian |
|
I am a self taught artist who has loved drawing my entire life. As a small child a pencil and paper were never far from my reach. My first love was horses which I drew whenever I had the opportunity, this later expanded to include all animals, particularly wildlife. I love to work from my own photographs, however I have access to some wonderful reference photos from some amazing photographers all over the world. For me the key is to capture the animals personality through there eyes, after all the eyes are the window to the soul! Over the years I have experimented in a few different mediums, however my favourite are coloured pencil and scratchboard. |
