Queen Millie steals the show in Young Dobell competition
It's highly likely Sir William Dobell would have been delighted with Hannah Linton's portrait of her pet dog Millie. Hannah's artwork took out the 17 and 18-year-old section of this year's Young Dobell Art Competition. Titled 'Queen Millie', it is one of 320 artworks from Hunter artists aged between 5-18 that are on display at the Museum of Art and Culture in Booragul. Sir William was a three-time Archibald Prize winner who lived in Lake Macquarie and was known for his portraits and landscape artworks. His beloved pet dogs were also a favoured subject. Young Dobell participants were encouraged to create either a portrait of a person or pet who played a significant role in their life, or a landscape artwork of a place that is special to them. Hannah, a Cardiff High School student, originally created her work as a visual arts assessment project. Over the course of 10 hours, she worked up the portrait primarily using a black pen. "I tried to capture every single detail from my reference photo to make the portrait as life-like as possible," she said. "I used white gel pens to work up some areas to add a shine where needed. For her collar, I used markers to lay down a base colour, then worked up intricate detail with Prismacolour pencils, adding a pop of vibrancy to the black and white portrait." Despite her success, Hannah said she was still undecided about pursuing visual arts as a career. "Things are pretty open for me at the moment. I'm not sure if I'm going to go into an artistic career or do something else," she said. The exhibition runs until Sunday, August 3, at the Museum of Art and Culture (MAC), 2A First Street, Booragul. 5-6 years 7-8 years 9-10 years 11-12 years 13-14 years 15-16 years 17-18 years It's highly likely Sir William Dobell would have been delighted with Hannah Linton's portrait of her pet dog Millie.
