Rachael Noton United Kingdom
Having been an artist since I was little, I practised properly as a professional artist since 2020. I studied at Dumfries and Galloway college doing Art and Design at HND level I went on to study at home on self portraits, I practise daily my technique and my love for the female form. I was a model between 16-25 years old, and have the same outlook that the female body is beautiful.
I love to experiment and I do try to get better everytime, not just technique but flow, attitude and energy. I love practising by drawing something over and over again. I use acrylics, oil sticks, watercolour and inks. I love sketching, sprawling and life drawing.
I usually draw women’s bodies, this is because of the beauty that is a woman’s figure, the historic nature of the beauty of this realm. I love painting and drawing flowers in an intuitive way and sometimes mix the two together.
