Levi Roots - Raw Business Magazine



Bradley Chapman, MD of Million Impossible and publisher of Raw Business Magazine, recently asked me to paint some of the Entrepreneurs featured in Raw Business. They were Rachel Elnaugh, Ex Dragon, Author and Mentor, Levi Roots, creator of Reggae Reggae sauce, Imran Hakim, creator of iteddy and James Halliburton, creator of waterbouy, all of whom have been on BBC's Dragons Den. I was quite nervous, but had a great time painting these charismatic people. I did several drawings and pastel sketches first, to familiarise myself with their faces, features and expressions, work out composition and backgrounds, then used acrylics to do the final pantings. You almost have to deconstruct then reconstruct faces and form them in your own visual langauge.

The feature will be published in edition 9 of Raw Business Magazine
