2020 update #1

June 21, 2020 · by Helen · in Exhibitions, Fine Art, Inspiration, Life Studies, Painting, Portraiture, Rambles, Still Life

I have been neglecting my website terribly this year. I have no excuses for this other than being busy and focussed on making new work. Although things have been very far from normal across the globe for the last few…

Motivational crises & trying new things

March 31, 2017 · by Helen · in Drawing, Life Studies, Rambles

About Helen Davison Bradley


Based near Cirencester in the Cotswolds, I mainly work in oils and charcoal using time honoured techniques.
A keen advocate of the practise of drawing from life (believing it to be crucial in developing the observational skills of the artist), I feel that the interaction between artist and subject is the defining essence in the creation of a piece of art.

Brownhound? Huh?

Brownhound is the name of my web/graphic design business, which I have now stepped away from in order to concentrate on pursuing a career as a practising fine artist.
Having used the URL and email address for so long (and in honour of Sophie, the studio dog who inspired the name), I decided to stick with it as my point of contact. I'm glad you found me.
