This is ony of my favourite reportage sketches from his gallery. I really like illusion of depth and perspective and the colours and textures he has used in it. The way he has done a relatively simple paint wash background has helped influence my own sketchbook reportage as I've taken to experimenting with different brusho and watercolour techniques to produce a similar effect. I think this style really adds something to an otherwise plain line drawing, and helps add depth of field and a way for my to control the focal point of the piece.

He also has some reportage sketches of people within a gallery.

He uses watercolour paints to add colour and life to these sketches, and he sketches everything from landscapes to buildings and people.

As you can see he has a very good grasp of perspective and the colours he uses to paint these sketches give them a lot of character.

His other works are also exceptional. His colour studies are absolutely fantastic! I love the vibrance of his images, especially the tree and forest studies.
