Description
CURRENT EXHIBITION
Lifelike
Lifelike presents a collection of works from four local artists who work with observational ‘en plein air’ drawing and painting techniques. These artists capture the essence of life in Bendigo, patiently observing the local culture, landmarks and landscapes and interpreting them into realistic depictions of life in this vibrant bustling city. The exhibition will display both works in progress and finished masterpieces so that that the viewer can gain insight into the technical and creative process of working ‘pleinair’.
Terry Jarvis, Shaun Clarke, Meg Holmes and Michael Watson.
Lifelike is free to attend and is open daily from 30 March – 16 June
