Portraits & Figurative Drawing

 (formerly www.barbaramacdougallportraits.com)

I have been a portrait and figurative artist for most of my life. My preference is to work from life in black & white, using pencil, charcoal, conte, etc., and preferably on rag paper. Influences come from all eras, countries and media. If forced to chose an "ism", I would be pleased to be called an Expressionist.  

The drawings and portraits that follow are only a few examples of what I've done over the years and I'll be adding to them as time permits. Please feel free to contact me if you'd like to see more.
