Guest Artists Life As We See It - November 2019

LIFE AS WE SEE IT - IN THE CENTRE OF ROSS-ON-WYE
​
For the first time ever an exhibition of portraits and paintings of the human form will be on show at Made in Ross in the Market House, Ross-on-Wye starting next Sunday alongside the beautiful and varied work of the Made in Ross artist’s cooperative.

The exhibition will showcase work by members of a Life Class tutored by Angela Palmer at Brockweir in the Wye Valley. The show is entitled “Life As We See It” and has been held annually for the past 20 years in various venues, most recently Taurus Crafts in Lydney.
​
This talented group of artists enjoy working by observation directly from a life model. The challenge which this presents makes this possibly the most difficult one an artist can attempt, but it can also be the most rewarding as something of the humanity and character of the sitter gives the work an   energy sometimes lacking in paintings done from photographs.

The artists use many different media to portray the human figure with techniques including painting in oils,  impressionistic mixed media work and exquisite pencil drawing.

​There will also be some sculpture on show made by clay modelling from life, in short something for everyone.
