Tuesday 15 April, live demo by Rodney Kingston, 7.30pm Centre 70
Artist Rodney Kingston will give a live demo of painting a still life in oils. He paints the vast majority of his work with the subject in front of him. Inspiration comes from everyday life – people, places, still life objects – and the challenge of translating three-dimensional subjects into a convincing two-dimensional oil painting. Rodney primarily works, demonstrates and teaches in oil but also completes portraiture work in liquid charcoal.
Rodney studied art and design at Wimbledon School of Art, followed by a Graphic Design degree at Camberwell College of Arts. He is a full time professional artist, working just outside of London. He has been a contestant on both ‘Landscape Artist of the Year’ and ‘Portrait Artist of the Year’, televised by Sky Arts. Rodney has exhibited at the Mall Galleries with the Royal Society of Oil Painters and contributed articles to Leisure Painter magazine. He has won numerous other awards and led regular workshops and demonstrations since 2016.
