About this artwork
My latest red chalk drawing. I've tried to keep it looking spontaneous and sketchy even though red chalk is very unforgiving and you do have to gradually build it up, layer by layer.
Whilst an element of realism is important, I try to move beyond artistic convention and avoid an image that is too predictable. Realism is not enough – what you take away and add to what you see are what transform a picture into art. I believe the viewer wants to see… a degree of draughtsmanship from an artist but they deserve more than this.

« As an artist, you have to create not just recreate »
Patrick Palmer is an experienced British painter who has exhibited his work throughout the UK. He previously worked in publishing before deciding to turn to art full-time, and has since been busy composing figurative pieces that focus on the human form. Primarily producing post-romantic nudes amidst a haze of soft colour combinations, he seeks to capture senses of delicacy, sensuality, and elegant suggestiveness.
