The Artist undertook this pencil drawing on cream-coloured paper of Daniel Maclise in 1995. Daniel Maclise RA (1806–1870) is one of the most successful painters in the history of art. The historical artist and portraitist was born in Cork. He was initially employed for two years as a bank clerk and later he attended classes at the Cork Crawford School of Art. In 1825, when the famous novelist Sir Walter Scott was travelling in Ireland, Maclise saw him in a book shop and promptly made a casual sketch of him, which he later lithographed and sold. The sketch was exceptionally well received and Maclise became in great demand as a portrait painter. These early portrait sketches he executed in pencil, with a keen eye for detail and accessory. A set of limited edition prints, signed and stamped by the artist, is available; email Mícheál for full details.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.
