From Anne:

"Amy completed in the studio. I have kept to the genre, making it a more romanticised portrait in keeping with the work of Anders Zorn and the artists we were discussing.The finishing brush marks are quite loose and expressive so we get a bit of life and movement into the piece. We can take a modern approach on the study day".

Anne Toase delivered a most interesting Demonstration in person to a packed Hall. If you feel inspired, sign up for her Study Day on Thursday 27th April, all day with a live model for only £40 and Anne's personal attention. There are only 4 places left so don't delay.

Intrigued? Want to know more? Anne Toase will be presenting her demonstration in person at the Riverside on Tuesday 14th March. She will be using a live model and demonstrating how you can achieve all the above colours from just 4 tubes of oil paint. Don't miss it.
