They took great care with their work and followed a technique whereby they painted a tonal version of their image (in either blue or dark brown), then mixing subtle colours and painting them over the top, while still retaining the strong structure created by the tonal underpainting.
These self-portraits demonstrate a strong likeness to the artists and expert handling of colour and paint application.
Year 10 Visual Arts students should be proud of their excellent achievement in portrait painting.
