Evan Bartley

Evan works with the pen and ink medium to produce observational line drawings of people and places. Based in Swansea, he visits all kinds of coffee shops and cafes on a regular basis capturing the real and ordinary life people lead. All of his reportage drawings are compiled into a series of sketchbooks which he always carries around as so to never miss a sketching opportunity.

Drawing the ordinary and everyday life of regular people through a series of coffee shop sketchbooks, Evan works swiftly in order to capture each customer's movements. Taking inspiration from Peter Arkle, John Hewitt and David Gentleman, Evan applies his own technique to give his own unique drawing style.
