I’m very excited to let you know about our two new exhibitions opening Saturday 10th October:

Colin See-Paynton RCA - Here's the Proof!
There really is something about an exhibition of wood engravings. Something a bit special; not entirely unheard of, but really quite a rare thing.

Seren Bell RCA - Longing
I work quite slowly building up the drawing from a rough outline in pencil, then using crayons I introduce the colour over which I draw more carefully and in detail with pen and Indian ink.
_____________________________

Rwy’n gyffrous iawn i roi gwybod i chi am ein dwy arddangosfa newydd, sy’n agor ddydd Sadwrn 10 Hydref:

Colin See-Paynton RCA – Dyma’r Prawf!
Mae rhywbeth arbennig iawn am arddangosfa o engrafiadau pren. Rhywbeth ychydig yn wahanol; nid rhywbeth cwbl anghyffredin, ond yn sicr yn dipyn o beth prin.

Seren Bell RCA – Hiraeth
Rwy’n gweithio’n eithaf araf, gan adeiladu’r llun o amlinelliad bras mewn pensil. Yna, gan ddefnyddio creonau, rwy’n ychwanegu’r lliw, cyn tynnu drosto’n fwy gofalus ac yn fanwl gyda beiro ac inc India.
