2b or not 2b? Actually, mainly 4b and 5b... Pencil Portraiture.

Above is a recently completed pencil portrait. It proved relatively challenging as the photo that I was using for reference was very small, blurry and lacked detail. Normally I'd avoid doing artwork from photos of a certain size or image quality, but sometimes as an artist you don't have the luxury of choice.

Massive savings on original art and commissions!

• Commission a high quality painted portrait for under £100.

• Up to 20% off original artwork.

Without wanting to sound too much like Al Harrington from Family Guy, I've gone discount crazy over at artbylukebennett.com!

January sales are so last year; March is when all the cool kids do their bargain hunting, so head on over to the Commission a Painting section to find the new 2013 pricing structure.

Portrait paintings from photographs now start from as little as £99. So whether you want a painting to commemorate a loved one, a special moment and memory, or a beloved pet cat or dog, rendered in a detailed and colourful piece of art, I guarantee an exemplary price to quality ratio.
