Sally Dray popped around one day to discuss the technique of using craquleure on canvas for a film production.
In conversation she mentioned that she had her first attempt at craquelure in the car and disappeared off to fetch it.
Below is the painting which is utterly beautiful in detail and luminosity. She copied a photograph of Anne Boleyn which is painted in oils on MDF.
Over the top she created the fine lines of craquelure. The finish is superb. Sally is a modest, huge talent.
Read all about her in the Press Release below.
