Also here are a few works that caught my eye at the Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer Portrait Award exhibition at the NPG too - definitely worth a visit, especially because it is free entry!

A few works from the amazing Jenny Saville exhibition currently on at the NPG in London - well worth a visit! These paintings and drawings are absolutely HUGE - photos really can't do them justice.

“Aye aye captain” 😜 One of my generous students kindly gave me a little set of 6 x Senelier oil pastels so I have tried them out on this sketch of my eye - they feel like butter!
