MARIA HEYEL

I am a Bristol-based artist who has been painting portraits since I was at school. I studied art at college and enjoyed life drawing which was very good at improving my all round drawing and visual skills. I am mostly self taught... Portraits in oils are my particular speciality, although I paint other subjects as well. I have painted many commissions over the years and have some hanging in the Freemasons Building in Bristol... I'm always keen to get a very good likeness of the subject, which in my view is the reason for having a portrait done.
