It’s been so long since I tried anything in acrylics but after watching Wendy Barratt’s Sky Artist of the Year masterclass on painting a portrait with a limited palette, I thought that I’d try it. This is Thomas Gissing, pharmacist and botanist, who makes an appearance in one of my forthcoming Dalesman articles.
It’s so different to my regular pen and watercolours approach and I realise that I need to be better organised to bring it together but I will give it another try, perhaps with a simpler subject, such as the box and sphere still life that Tai Shan Shierenberg painted earlier in the series.
