Drawing on Eyes for Inspiration

I grew up drawing when I was a kid. You could often find me at the kitchen table with a pencil scratching away at a piece of paper, tongue sticking out of my mouth in concentration.

Eyes are the Window to the Soul

An Airbrush Connected me Back to my Authentic Artist Self

But when I began airbrushing portraits - of both people and animals - I was scared to draw or paint eyes.

Art is all about observation. And the more you look into an eye, the more you see. I began to truly embrace the complexity that lies within the anatomy of an eye. And now, airbrushing or drawing an eye is my favourite way to convey the exression - and soul - of a subject.

Professionally photographed art prints of an original painting by Amber Bahm. The painting showcases a close-up view of a leopard's eye in the style of abstract realism. A vibrant, turquoise eye with flecks of purple behind an out-of-focus whisker. The leopard's fur is brought to life using earthy tones of burnt umber, sepia, violet-black and white.
