Temi Danso Artist “I started doing portraiture around the age of 15 while doing GCSE Fine Art and I fell in love with it. I only recently started using colouring pencils - in the last 3-4 years and it is my favourite medium to work with. I also paint with acrylics and oils. 16 Art is still a hobby for me. I do it alongside my Mechanical Engineering degree and when I have more time, I open up my commissions. Quite simply, inspired by beautiful people. I like to draw beauty so I find myself saving pictures from Instagram all the time to add to my queue of people to draw. The sketchbook I use has different coloured paper which gives my work an interesting and unique backdrop. If you look at my work, you would notice there are about 5 different coloured backgrounds. I aim to continue to build my brand and art career and one day to host a solo exhibition.”
