Portraits at Shelley College

Now, I'm shattered so haven't cropped any individual pictures to post here tonight.


However I am quite excited about the work I've just been doing so I'll post one pic and explain that these paintings were made by 11-12 year olds from shelley College and it's associated middle schools in a single day's portraiture workshop with myself and a couple of members of staff. The standard was amazing and the kids were very receptive to some difficult concepts and ideas. They also did some drawing exercises and applied themselves wholeheartedly. The resulting self-portraits are very wide ranging in mood and technique- one of the most exciting things I've done for some time. Also very tiring, Good night.
