Ian Cumberland
April 2010


During my Easter break 2010, I visited ‘The Naughton Gallery’ in Queens University, Belfast. The ‘Davy Portrait Awards 2010’ was being displayed.  Ian Cumberland  was the winner of the Davy Portrait Awards.  I found this artist very interesting because I loved how he made his portrait look so realistic. Cumberland has captured the emotion in his face. He has put time and precision into the facial expressions. I love the depth that the artist has gone to with this image.  This development piece shows how I used Ian Cumberlands self portrait to improve my painting of eyes.
