25 aspiring local artists sat in on a
stimulating demonstration of the art of portraiture at the Gallery at
Elizabeth House last Saturday. The gallery's current artist, Rob
Cordingley, gave a two-hour demonstration, painting his fiancee Becky,
and giving tips on all aspects of the process. During the session
he nearly completed the portrait which he will be putting on his website
when finished (http://www.robertcordingley.co.uk/).

Rob will be back at the Gallery on Friday
9th April (at 7.30pm) to give an illustrated talk about the use of egg
tempera by artists from the dawn of creativity to the 21st century. The
talk (From Cavemen to 2010) will cover this most enduring art medium from
cave art through the early Egyptians to Renaissance and modern art –
with a demonstration on how to make it. Tickets are £10 available
from Lynne Williams at Elizabeth House or on 01628 819224. After the
success of last Saturday's session tickets (which are limited to 30) are
likely to sell fast so book yours soon!
And here's the portrait getting near to completion.
