Digby Field

Aspiring artist. Moved to France 2010 with some experience in wood carving. Developed and an interest in improving my ability to draw. Working on improving technique and working to develop an expressive style. Enjoys figurative and portraiture work. Likes the simplicity of charcoal drawing but would also like to do more with acrylic painting and wood sculpture.

For me art is a great personal expression and I particularly enjoy working with others on either joint projects or learning in a group. Before Covid I attended a weekly group, Académie d’Arts Plastiques d’Epinal https://fr-fr.facebook.com/acadarpla.epinal

Self portait

I first tried this using a mirror, cos I had read that only proper self portraits where done live from a mirror.. so I tried, see below. To me it is a more dynamic sketch and I like the composition.. just a shame the likeness didn’t work out. So I asked a friend, Louna, to take my photo so I could have another go from that.
