Douglas McDougall

A Scottish artist turns paper and charcoal into fascinating portraits, Douglas McDougall is based in Glasgow. Impressive realistic portraits with an extra dimension, drawn with charcoal on paper and later on tackling it with sandpaper, Stanley blades and erasers. At first glance you could be fooled into thinking 'this is a picture', but it's all manual labour. Every portrait has another, deeper layer, looking like an ancient tattoo or a surgical pathway to a darker secret.
