Today we will be exploring the techniques of New Zealand artist Darcy Nicholas.
Darcy uses strong contrasting primary colours in his work.
He started off when he was young by drawing on newspaper with charcoal. He sold his first painting when he was nine for a whopping 90 shillings!
Now Darcy mainly uses paint on canvas, paper, wood and bone.
He has said that the best technique he uses in his art is imagination.
The children will be using sugar paper, sepia self portraits and pastel to create a Darcy inspired self- portrait.
