Spectacular Sketch Art by Stephen Travers

Australian artist Stephen Travers has always desired to paint but had subdued every day for 25 years. He took up drawing and painting when his daughter won a year’s scholarship at the Julian Ashton Art School. After taking a couple of introductory TAFE Cert IV Fine Arts subjects in drawing and painting in 2006 and 2007, which provided some enforced structure and input, he left classes to focus on the subjects that always captured his imagination. He drown himself in painting the light, colour, shape and texture of the Australian natural environment.In 2015 he took the step of leaving regular employment to work full-time at his art. Today,we share some of his sketches that he drew during his trip to Paris, France. You will love the way he transformed the iconic places of Paris in black and white portraits.
