Having been inspired
by the work of Michelangelo, Van Dyck, Velazquez and John Singer
Sergent to name but a few Lucinda found herself wanting to learn
the techniques used behind the works of these wonderful artists.
Having done a foundation
year at UCL, in History of Art, followed by a foundation course
at Salisbury College Lucinda knew she wanted to take her studies
further.
Lucinda went to Florence,
Italy to study. It was there that she began to appreciate the importance
of classical realism, focussing on the naturalistic tradition of
drawing and painting. She learned that to capture an image is simply
the start of the process of creation and that design, mood and emotion
attain greater significance as the project evolves. There are so
many things to think about when trying to capture a person on canvas:
the aim is to try and maintain a balance in composition, while attempting
to capture the essence of the sitter or the landscape before you.

Lucinda
is based in London and takes commissions for dog portraits,
horse portraits, children and adult portraits,
landscapes in charcoals, pencil, sanguin and oils.
I love painting
animals of all kinds so any pet you have
just let me know. Pet portraits are a great way
to give a gift and you can be assured this will
be to a high standard. Having done a foundation year at UCL, in
History of Art, I decided to take it further with a foundation course
at Salisbury College. I then stuided for 3 years in Florence at
the world renowed Charles Cecil Studios, where I learned to draw,
paint and sculpt.
