"Baron Morrison Lambeth"
Juliet Pannett was born in Hove in 1911 she was a painter and she is one of the oldest living artists to have work in the National Portrait Gallery collection. Throughout her artwork Juliet has drawn many portraits of Prime Ministers, politicians, lawyers, judges, academics and musicians.
Herbert Stanley Morrison, Baron Morrison of Lambeth,(3 January 1888 – 6 March 1965) was a British Labour politician, and above Juliet has drawn a portrait of him, the reason in which I chose this image was the because of the rough/rigid shadings and detail of the face, as I mentioned before the detail of artwork I appreciate and it finishes the image with the right look. The toning in this piece gives the impression of and olden image, as he was a politician in the 1880s, I think this effect gives it the touch of Lambeth's Days as a young man.
Below I have drawn a response to Juliet's work as I found this piece would be interesting to focus on and it inspired me to create something similar.
Janet originally used chalk in her portrait however I used pencil, and with the same effect I tried to create the same texture has her picture, learning and practising new techniques throughout the process gives me a much more detailed study on how the original image is made.
