Let us jump back into a bit of Art History and create with Welsh artist, Gwendolyn John. We will use vintage imagery to create a soft, feminine portrait. Gwen John often painted women reading or opening letters. I love the symbolism of this. It always makes you wonder what message she may have just received…
I will show you my entire process here from underpainting to finishing touches. The result is a poignant and sensitive portrait with a wonderful sense of history.
