ARTIST Andy Quilty was able to share his wealth of knowledge to the next generation of creatives at a special workshop at Canning Vale College.
The school won the special portrait workshop after taking out one of the awards at last year’s Black Swan Prize for Portraiture.
Quilty has excelled in his artistic endeavours, named a finalist in a number of national and international art prizes including the Black Swan Prize for Portraiture, and used the workshop to help guide the students with some tips and skills to create better portraits.
