National Portrait Gallery in London, Friday drop-in session on 23-08-2013.
This a portrait of Lee. She was also drawing me, so somehow we're holding a silent eyes contact conversation by portraying one another at the sometime. I wanted the upper and lower part of the drawing to reinforce this Chinese lady, her gazing, her concentration, her age and wisdom perhaps and the lightness of her blouse. I created a contrasting but balanced composition through a band of black on the top and white background, the blouse at the bottom of the image. In the end I achieved a very bold composition.
