Nick Bashall does Piers Fletcher, in charcoal

Watch this video to see how he does it, AND what HAMPSHIRE ART studio looks like.

This is a quick gallop through a lovely August evening at HAMPSHIRE ART studio in Bransbury.  Nick Bashall, who is coming to teach a self portrait class in November, took a couple of hours to show us how he approaches a portrait.  Piers Fletcher gallantly agreed to be the centre of attention, to model and to chat to Nick.  There were stories of choir boys, Ravens, Norse sagas and numerous other topics, mostly edited from this video.
