Second L6 oils workshop by Mr Gabbitas on the theme of ‘BODY’. Students learned about and used the ‘Alla Prima’ method of applying a range of coloured underlayers onto a Venetian red ground. Enjoyable and engaging experimentation going on- well done ladies! @DhaMhw

How’s this for a step-by-step process? Esmé is a L6 art scholar and having been shown the ropes with her first foray into oils before xmas using underpainting & layering brushstrokes, she is now flying with her latest canvas, reinventing the man about town AKA the dandy/flaneur!
