The Wood Engraver by Craig Simpson

A painting of Craig’s friend and old work colleague Colin Kennedy, an accomplished painter and wood engraver. Being self taught, Colin was really the only fine artist Craig knew. When starting out around twelve years ago, he’d come into work to show Colin what he’d been working on that week. A brutally honest critique, Colin would give Craig pointers to work on, giving him a better understanding of composition and eventually developing his own style.
