Tracey Stebbing

Hello, my name is Tracey Stebbing. I specialise in people and animal portraits. I am self-taught. I have always had a passion for art, being it my favourite subject at school. It was around twenty years ago that I had an idea that I would have a go at copying a character from the BBC Soap Eastenders, which was displayed on the front of the TV Times magazine. Because the soap was so popular they showed a different character every week, so I have a portfolio of over fifty of them! As time went by I moved on from watercolours to acrylics. I started painting other celebrities that were popular at the time. I like drawing and painting faces, as I like the challenge of getting a good likeness!
