Portraiture Workshop with Penelope Gilbert-Ng second workshop will be held on 17th September 2020 at 140 Weller Road, Tarragindi.
Due to COVID 19 restrictions, and keeping the numbers small in the class, a second workshop is organized for members on the wait-list.
Subject for painting: Portrait of Phil:
Phil will once again be the subject for painting, but this time with reverse lighting. Penelope met Phil at an Abby museum day a few years ago and snapped a photograph of him knowing he was a great subject for painting.
Meet the Artist:
Penelope Gilbert-Ng ‘s journey as an artist started at age 3. In her late teens, she earned her Diploma of Painting (1971) from the East Sydney Technical College. After college, Penelope Gilbert Ng developed her painting living in Papua New Guinea for 13 years.
On returning to Australia in1986, she continued to learn and develop as an artist. She met and learned from acclaimed artists in Australia, New York, and New Mexico. For her, continual learning is the key to self-development as an artist. Eventually, she became a Master Pastellist and is associated with the Pastel Society of Australia. In the past, she has taken up the President and Fellow position at the Royal Qld Art Society. Today, she is the most sought after tutor as many Art Societies and Groups, locally and nationally keep her schedule busy. Currently, she tutors and teaches in all mediums.
