THE Gryphon School in Sherborne has been delighted to host a visit from celebrity painter Adebanji Alade.
Adebanji (right) is a television presenter on BBC’s The One Show, vice-president of The Royal Institute of Oil Painters and a motivational speaker, among other accomplishments.

Some 27 students spent a day experiencing a professional portfolio viewing, inspiring painting demonstration/workshop and one-to-one guidance on creating a portrait of their own in oil paint and mixed media. They gained valuable insights and skills in traditional and contemporary portraiture techniques in oil and mixed-media, while producing successful and advanced portraits.
