Watercolour Life Sketches — Paintings and drawings by Jonathan Ing

Paintings and drawings by Jonathan Ing

I am deeply passionate about portraiture and the art of capturing the true essence of a subject. Each portrait I create is a meaningful journey, shaped by the connection I build with my subject. Whenever possible, I prefer multiple sittings, as they offer a chance to engage on a personal level, allowing me to observe the subtle details that bring a portrait to life. I complement these sessions with carefully taken photographic references, which help me refine and complete each piece with precision and authenticity.

I prefer to take these photographs myself, as it enables me to better understand the subject’s character and ensures the final portrait reflects their unique personality.

Creating a portrait is always a deeply rewarding experience, both for me and, I hope, for those I portray. If you’re interested in commissioning a custom portrait or simply discussing the possibilities, I’d be delighted to connect. Together, we can create a timeless piece that will be cherished for years to come.

Thank you,

Jonathan Ing
