Here are two portraits from the recent competition session which have been completed at home.

Dot used soft pastels on Clairefontaine Pastelmat paper for her portrait of Yoko Ono. Lovely use of soft pastels, Dot. Well done as we can see straight away who the portrait is of!

Tracy used watercolours for her portrait of Tony Hawkins MBE. He joined the RNLI Dover lifeboat in 1960 aged 16, was involved in nearly 500 callouts and in total worked and volunteered for the RNLI for an amazing 65 years. Tracy saw Tony’s obituary in the RNLI magazine last year and wanted to paint his lined, weather-worn face and wonderful eyebrows.
