Originary Arts: Poets & Lovers Portraits
Sketch scenes of oversized sunflowers and create poetic portraits with Originary Arts. Paying tribute to the paintings of Vincent Van Gough, real-life lovers Sian Carousel and Nikki Shaill will pose to inspire your playful portraits. A gender-bending tribute to Van Gogh and his iconic artworks. Capture colour, a costumed model couple and create imaginative drawings as you listen to a soundtrack of music. Listen to some poetry performed at intervals to help inspire you too!
