London-based artist Curtis Holder’s work focuses on people and the human form, using graphite and coloured pencils on paper to observe life, convey emotions and tell stories. In 2020, Holder won Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year, a national portraiture competition in the UK. His winning commission of world renowned ballet dancer Carlos Acosta is now part of the permanent collection at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.

This is your own unique opportunity to be drawn by Curtis Holder. His line portraits are unique, spontaneous drawings created from life during a four-hour sitting. The series of line drawings can be of an individual or pair of people in various poses. The sitting can take place in your home (if London-based) or online. You will select your three favourite drawings at the end of the portrait session.
