Oil on Canvas: Portrait

on BBC Two England

Series in which contemporary artists share their skills.

British artist Tai-Shan Schierenberg demonstrates how to paint portraits when he creates a likeness of Lord Hartington, the heir to Chatsworth House, in a day. After initial sketches and photographs, Schierenberg uses large brushes to work on the basic structure of the portrait before switching to smaller ones, as the colours become specific.
