Sheffield Forum Portrait Artist Of The Year

Recommended Posts

For those who couldn't get down, here's a few of my faves.

 

The sun wasn't kind. Very bright over the top of the display board. Lot of glare.

I dunno who won it, but the Hawley & Jess ones are the best in this non-artist's opinion.

And Tony and Abby with the winning portrait! 

 

Abby will now create a portrait of Tony which will be on display at Cutlers Hall! 

 

Thank you to all involved, there was some amazing talent on display!

Is the mosaic one of Mr Foulds an entry or just a promotional poster?

That's the promotional poster, I'll let the designer know though he will be happy! ☺️

I see there is another portrait of John Birkhill on display. I imagine there were quite a few of him in competition, but IMO the detail in Abby's drawing is exceptional.

My pleasure. Wish I could have taken more, but like I said earlier, at the time I visited the position of the sun was making shots difficult. Marvellous effort by all concerned I reckon.
