The Essence of Charcoal Drawing
Charcoal is a simple, natural resource, that allows me to create images in a different way than with a camera. What I love about working with charcoal is capturing the inner essence of my subject.
Custom Portrait Testimonials
“Absolutely adore the charcoal commission that Kirsty did for us. She was very clear, efficient and friendly in her communication up front when we were discussing the vision of the project, including estimated timeframes. The end product was better than we had hoped for and is now hung beautifully, pride of place, in our apartment. Thank you so much Kirsty!”

“In March 2022 I commissioned Kirsty Jensen to paint a charcoal portrait of me. Within a couple weeks she delivered the finished portrait, based on a photo of mine. The result was amazing. Kirsty captured the facial expressions, particularly the eyes, in a superior way. I met Kirsty in October 2021 and have seen several of her artistic work, including portraits, photography and videos. She is a truly talented artist, with a strong passion and dedication.”

“I found Kirsty Jensen’s work randomly when my flatmate brought home a portrait of Gary Vee that was so good I thought it was photo. On closer inspection it was charcoal portrait. I thought it was so cool. So I decided to also do something cool and get a couples portrait as a wedding present. It turned out amazing and they absolutely loved it. She even sorted a card for me and even put it in a cool frame. Thank you for basically giving me brownies points for life.”
