#portraitchallenge: gainsborough’s georgiana

Posted on April 22 2016 by dan fone

Thursday’s #PortraitChallenge was Thomas Gainsborough‘s famous portrait of Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire (which I’ve seen on a visit to Chatsworth House). Mine’s a Pegasus-wrangling cowgirl because why not. 🙂 You can find out more about portraits and #PortraitChallenge here on my earlier blog post.

Visit @StudioTeaBreak on Twitter to see a gallery of everyone’s drawings! We’re back to the #ShapeChallenge today. Do jump in, all ages and drawing abilities are very welcome! It’s fun seeing whole families get involved. I love seeing all the variations!
