How Rolf learnt to paint like Shani Rhys James
Rolf explores the painting technique and approach of fellow Australian Shani Rhys James and produces his own portrait in this specially edited learning film.
Shani's dramatic self portraits are directly influenced by her family history and childhood experiences so before Rolf attempts a self portrait in Shani's style, he goes back to Merthyr to discover more about his own family's Welsh roots and makes a startling revelation about a family scandal that rocked polite Victorian society.
