About the demonstration
Visitors will not only gain an insight into the materials used by painters such as Johannes Vermeer and his contemporaries, but will also be able to experience at first hand the wealth of knowledge and craftsmanship that lies behind the art of painting.
As well as making paint, Anar will also be painting live, demonstrating various aspects of classical painting techniques. In his demonstration, Anar will also explore Vermeer’s use of colour and the composition of his paintings.
