Best known for his works using the painting method of egg tempera, the exhibition offers a rare chance to see his drawings, including preparatory work for some of his large-scale paintings, four of which will be on show alongside their drawings." -@messumswest When?

RP @markroscoeart has shared the journey for his r RP @markroscoeart has shared the journey for his recent commission and unveiling...! "Here is one of my most recent portrait commissions and a few photographs of the final unveiling and surroundings. When the client first made contact with me we immediately hit it off and we bonded over our shared experiences. We were the same age, we both spent time living in Chelsea, and we both have three children. Unlike me he is handsome, and sophisticated, has impeccable style, and taste, and is rich, but nobody is perfect. For various reasons, we decided to stage the painting in a private members club in Mayfair and I'm glad we did as I think it worked out really well. The colors and shapes of the canopy and the buildings in the background create a lively dynamic composition that returns your eye to the face and hands. We decided to unveil the portrait to his family during their visit to Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland and Im thankful everything worked out well, there was no rain or wind, I was forced to have breakfast at the hotel and charge it to his room but I really shouldn't complain." -Mark Roscoe RP Images: Mark Roscoe RP, Recent commission and unveiling . . #portrait #portraitpainting #oiloncanvas #portraitcommission #royalsocietyofportraitpainters #portraitsinlondon #artistoninsta #oilpainting #realestateinvesting #successfulperson #mayfair #mayfairlondon #georgeclub #georgeclubmayfair #mayfairproperty #whisky #gleneagleshotel #habanacuba #finedining #finesuits #commission #unveiling

RP Andrew James (@andrewrpneac) has shared this be RP Andrew James (@andrewrpneac) has shared this beautiful portrait of a gentleman he had the pleasure of meeting a number of years ago in Cape Town ! 👨‍🎨 ...From a very early age Andrew James shared a passion for art with his twin brother Paul. In 1987 he decided to pursue painting full time and at the age of 17 so he undertook a 10 year project to develop his work through self-directed study. Winning the Carroll Foundation Award in 1998 helped bring his work to a much wider audience. Election to the RP four years later established Andy fully as a portrait painter. Further exposure came from a successful appearance in BBC 1’s Star Portraits with Rolf Harris.

RP @sue_painter (Susan Ryder) has her first solo s RP @sue_painter (Susan Ryder) has her first solo show in four years coming up and it is beautiful collection! 👏 Titled: 'Touched by Light' Where? @panterandhall When? 9th – 25th October 2024 Susan’s paintings are a welcome salve to the soul in these troubled times. An artist of great talent and integrity, her works remind us that beneath all the chaos there is an aesthetic continuity in British art that defies fad and fakery. Her paintings lift the spirits, morning rooms dappled by sunlight and lamplit armchairs by the fire conjure a world of serene tranquillity, far from the madding crowd. Over the last four years Panter & Hall have selected the very best of her new paintings, squirrelling them away wet from the easel to arrive at the current beautiful collection. "In our opinion one of her strongest shows to date, it demonstrates the innate sense of colour and deftness of brushstroke for which she is justly celebrated." -Panter & Hall There are so many facets to Susan’s work but light plays a dominant role. Whether natural or electric, the luminosity brings warmth and atmosphere to the paintings, enlivening surfaces with a loaded brush where the light touches. 🪄 Image: Susan Ryder RP, 'Beyond the Orchid' (oil on canvas, 28 x 34 inches, £6,800) . . . . #susanryder #rp #soloexhibition #panterandhall #exhibition #royalsocietyofportraitpainters #beyond #orchid #painting #commissions #soloshow #seeyouthere #artistofinstagram #welldone
