Personal Summary
My illustrations are created using gouache and watercolour on paper. The paint is spread over large sheets and then cut out and collaged together. The possibilities are endless because the process often dictates the work.

Think about how as a child you would look into the clouds and spot animals and faces - and I guess the process is much like that.

I also do caricatures using this same technique, as it lends itself very well to faces.

I also do large pencil portraits (2m x 2m) Chuck Close stylesque. Both black and colour pencil work on a small and large scale is a long time specialty.

I am currently selling my artwork worldwide at www.kathypanton.etsy.com

Please take a look as I have many more images there.
