Not every piece starts with a clear narrative. Sometimes a client comes in with a feeling rather than a concept, things they’re drawn to without being able to fully explain why. A Spartan in motion, a Maltese cross, broken columns, graphic lines cutting through it all.

My job in those sessions is to find the composition that makes it feel intentional. To take the scattered references and build something that looks like it was always meant to exist as one piece.

The upper arm is forgiving in that sense. Enough surface to let a composition breathe, enough visibility to make it mean something every time it catches the light.

If you want to understand how decisions like these are made, The Echo Foundation Programme has three spots open. Applications close May 16.

People are sometimes surprised when they find out this is some of my favourite work to do. The bigger realism pieces get the attention, the complex compositions take the hours, but there is something about floral fine line that I keep coming back to.

It is all in the flow. The way the stems move, where the weight sits, how the negative space breathes. Nothing to hide behind, no geometry to anchor it. Just line and placement and the decision of when to stop.

This one sits on the thigh and follows the body the way it should, like it grew there.

If you think about work this way, The Echo Foundation Programme has five spots open. Applications close May 16.

He studied in Rome and spent months there. That kind of experience leaves marks, and is still very much part of who he is.

The hands are Michelangelo's. The scales aren't about justice, they're about him, the daily pull between what he feels and what he thinks. The moon phases on the blade because nothing stays the same for long. And a thread running through the whole thing, connecting it all.

The forearm is one of those placements you can't ignore. You see it every day, it changes how you carry yourself, how you move through a room. Also, genuinely one of the nicest surfaces to work on.

There's something about classical figures that keeps pulling me back. The stillness of them. The way they were built to last, not to impress in the moment but to mean something over time. That's what drew me to this composition, the statue, the column, the geometry that holds it all together. Nothing in here is accidental. Every element earned its place.

One of those sessions where the hours disappear.
If you draw and you think about work this way, the Echo Foundation Programme is open until May 16.
