Keith McMurray
Portrait Drawing Commissions
These are stunningly beautiful examples of hand drawn A5 sized portrait drawings by Katty’s younger brother Keith.
Keith’s attention to detail and fine craftsmanship is of the highest quality, these portraits really are special.
Each drawing is worked from your chosen photograph in graphite on archival quality gesso board and sealed with museum grade fixative and matt varnish which means they will last well over a lifetime without smudging or yellowing with age. There are removable battens to the back of the boards, giving the option for you to either frame the drawing behind glass or simply hang it on the wall as it is.
Prices are:
A4 - £450 A5 - £250
If you are interested in commissioning Keith to do a portrait, here’s what to do:
Pick your photograph!
Either call us on 07958730606 or email your chosen photo to us at twokatsandacow@hotmail.co.uk and Keith will be in touch with you to discuss details.
When finished (usually within a week or two) Keith will email you a photo of the drawing to see if you’re happy with it or if anything needs any final adjustments.
When you’re happy with the portrait he can either post it to you or deliver it if you’re local to Brighton.
And for peace of mind, you only have to pay for the drawing when you’re fully satisfied with the end result – there’s no obligation - Keith is a perfectionist and we are sure you will be delighted.
Keith McMurray
Like his sister Katty, Keith has always painted and drawn from childhood, encouraged by their father Jim, who was at one time a professional portrait painter before opening ‘The McMurray Gallery’ in Stag Place, London in the 1970’s, a place the siblings loved and spent many an afternoon drawing in.
Keith’s work has been exhibited in galleries and art exhibitions across the UK and New York, and he has done a number of commissioned pieces, including a series for Glyndebourne Opera House.
Although better known for his subtle, patiently detailed drawings of the Sussex landscape he has always simultaneously done a number of portrait drawings over the years. His portraiture has only been known through word of mouth and personal connections, and it is only until now, encouraged by his sister Katty, that he is offering his portrait services publicly.
