Head painting exercise - 'Vintage Coronation Street' 03

A further set of famous characters from a very early 1970's Coronation Street, a soap opera first started in 1960 and still running on ITV. The video source was from 2" video as found on You Tube which account for the softness. All the paintings are done in oils on cardboard, sized at 9.5" x 12", and done at various points during early to late summer 2023.

Two TV studios are contained in the complex, one able to hold a small audience.
