We had a wonderful workshop this afternoon with Danny Morrell - learning all about the fascinating life of Frida Kahlo - and then creating our own interpretations of the portrait of her by Mark Ashkenazi, using Conte Crayons. Danny's presentation was excellent and very entertaining and everyone really enjoyed themselves!
Thanks Danny!

Today we had a workshop with the artist Gill Nicholas.
Here's what she had to say:
'Thank you for your enthusiasm and hard work in today's workshop. I didn't go easy on you with colour mixing, composition and atmospheric perspective. Rodney's painting in particular, highlighted how the whole feel of a painting can change, depending on your 4 starting colours of blue, red, yellow and white.
Everything we achieved today was with those 4 colours.
Well done everyone.
Am I allowed to come back? 😄'.
