Andrea Gaskin
My darling dog Jackson joined us in the studio on the Animals in Art studio course! He was a hit with the kids and proved to be an exceptional model for them to draw. We were looking at the sixteenth century painting by Lavinia Fontana, Portrait of a Lady with a Dog.
After some preliminary sketches, we moved on to painting with acrylics and inks. As you can see the paintings are wonderful! The confident way the children worked with colour, line and pattern resulted in some very dynamic paintings.
