Welcome to the Gallery of Portraits page! My personal goal is to be able to capture my family members in a portrait. Most of these are based on my own photography. I like to use a variety of paper surfaces, but my favorites are:
- Hahnemuhle Velour Board
- Crescent Moorman Suede Mat Board
I use Faber-Castell Polychromos, with a few pencils in other brands, plus Conte & Carb-Othello Pastel Pencils and Prismacolor NuPastels for background atmosphere.
If you're interested in hosting a 4-6 student portrait class based on student's own photography send me an email!
If you have any questions - I love to share what I know! Please email janelle@janellejohnson.com
