3 amigos models viridian in ink A3 in 32 x 44cm place holder frame by Bristol UK based artist Chris Shopland
Ink and Pen Portrait of a Model
This artwork is an ink and pen portrait on A3 paper, presented in a ready-made “placeholder” frame. The frame is perfect for display as is, but it’s also ready for you to find the perfect bespoke or custom frame to suit your personal taste and space. Bespoke frames can elevate an artwork, complementing its texture, tones, and mood. While I personally don’t frame my pieces in bespoke frames often, I truly appreciate how they can transform a piece into something even more striking.
The foreground features the distinctive and talented art model https://www.instagram.com/vilidian_artmodel/ . I’ll add details about the other models featured in this series as soon as I discover them within the art.
About the Artwork
This portrait reflects my ongoing fascination with ink and pen as a medium when it comes to quick poses. There’s something captivating about their crisp lines and contrasts, which allow for both intricate detail and bold stylisation/stylization. The A3 size provides a perfect balance—large enough to explore finer details yet intimate enough to maintain a personal connection.
The ready-made frame is a great placeholder, but if you’re seeking to personalise it further, a bespoke frame could be just the thing. It allows you to collaborate with a fine art framer to choose something that complements both the artwork and your unique space.
A Note on the Process
As an artist, I thrive on experimenting with different techniques and mediums, and this piece is part of that exploration. Working with ink and pen is both precise and freeing—it demands control but also invites spontaneous expression. I strive to balance these qualities in my work, creating pieces that feel dynamic and alive.
This series, including this portrait, represents a quicker and more expressive side of my art. While I love spending tens of hours on highly detailed works, pieces like this remind me of the joy in creating freely and intuitively.
Celebrate the Art of Framing
Whether you choose to display this piece as it is or invest in a bespoke frame, framing is a wonderful way to enhance and personalise your artwork. A thoughtfully chosen frame can highlight the contrasts in ink and pen, emphasising the interplay of light and shadow while giving the piece a finished, polished look.
