About the event
In this session, Attendees will be guided step by step by Richard in the use of painting knives. You'll get to see first hand how Richard uses a knife to capture all the details of that forever recognisble face and you'll follow along right with him. Help us celebrate the life and memory of Amy around her birthday. You can have your work framed at an additional cost and proudly hang it on your wall, remembering and honouring the life of Amy Whinehouse.
