She attended art college in London, was a contemporary of Frank Auerbach and a friend of L.S. Lowry. Her main subject was Aspatria and surrounding Cumbrian landscape. She died relatively young in 1979.
Nicola SUTCLIFFE – Talk and Workshop on Fashion Illustration
31st January 2025 – Nicola is a fashion illustrator and brought in her stunning artwork, Chanel books she illustrated, fashion magazines, photos and lots of tools for members to use as part of her workshop. We started by practising drawing the human frame and encouraged to use a loose painting style. We then did quick 5 minute sketches of Nicola in different poses followed by creating our own artwork using an image from one of the magazines/photos. It was a challenging and thoroughly enjoyable morning.
