The Drawing Guy
Joel Bolton, a.k.a The Drawing Guy, has pursued three passions consistently and persistently since early childhood – Music, Art and Languages.
He throws himself fully into life as pianist, flautist, occasional trombonist, conductor, music teacher, artist and prolific learner of languages.
Although art has often played a secondary role due to music and family commitments, it has maintained a constant presence in his life.
In 1993 he took a year off to study oil painting and portraiture. Some excellent teaching, combined with specialist workshops, sparked a love affair with the oil medium and he has spent many years honing his skills in this area.
In recent times coloured pencil has taken on a more important role. Not only is it less messy than oils but it also has a wonderful soft and fine quality ideally suited to the rendering of animal fur.
Joel Bolton has been a finalist three times in the Adam Portraiture Award and two times in the Impressions National Art Award.
