Always the teacher, Jocelyn used the speech as an opportunity to explain what “grisaille” means: Grisaille is a technique – going back to old masters such as Rubens and Van Dyck – where a light-coloured surface is coated with dark grey paint and then highlights are created by rubbing the paint away.

The exhibition of finalists is on at Gosford Regional Gallery until 3 November 2019.

Images of all winning works can be viewed on Gosford Regional Gallery’s Facebook page.
