**Join artist Robin-Lee Hall for a masterclass in how to paint in the ancient medium of egg tempera.** Egg tempera is a beautifully delicate medium, allowing you to build luminescent layers and fine detail. The medium was used by artists such as Sandro Botticelli and Leonardo da Vinci, and helped to define their painting and drawing styles. The process of creating an egg tempera painting is unlike any other painting medium. There are no harmful solvents involved, just powdered pigment mixed with egg and water. It feels at first like watercolour and dries just as quickly. However, successive layers of paint create a luminous colour saturated finish. The medium also allows you to create intricate detail and layering of mark making to create volumous surfaces. Join us to draw with pure colour! ***Outline of the day*** Participants will learn how to make their own paint, learn about raw pigments, mix colour and handle the medium. This will then be applied to developing a small work, either from still life or a reference image. All materials are provided. ***Your Tutor*** Robin-Lee Hall is a prize-winning artist and Past President of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters. She works primarily in egg tempera, but also uses other mediums including digital drawing on an iPad. Robin lectures and delivers workshops at the National Gallery, the National Portrait Gallery and the Royal Academy of Arts. Her work has been exhibited widely, in and around London, including the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and in the National Portrait Gallery’s Portrait Award. **Portrait in Egg Tempera with Robin-Lee Hall** **Saturday 11 April** **10-4.30pm** **£110 All materials included** [MORE INFO & BOOKING](https://londondrawing.com/product/portrait-in-egg-tempera-masterclass-with-artist-robin-lee-hall-11-april-2026/) **VENUE:** **Artizan Street Library & Community Centre** 1 Artizan Street London E1 7AF

**The workshop consists of two sessions:** **Sunday 12th and Monday 13th of April** **10.00am- 4.00pm (on-site)** For many of us, working from life -especially with a model- is a cornerstone of our artistic practice. Building on a long tradition, we often reach a point where we crave more personal expression in our work. Whether this urge arises on day one or after years of practice, the question remains: How do we find our unique artistic voice? How can we expand into abstraction or imagination? How do we bridge the gap between working with a model in the studio and continuing our creative journey at home? Sharing from their personal practice, Suzon will guide participants in discovering and nurturing their own creative voice throughout this two-day workshop. An opportunity to expand your creative toolbox and discover new ways of working. **Day 1** We’ll explore visual brainstorming techniques and discover how to infuse our paintings with a deeply personal touch. Focusing on one key concept at a time, we’ll experiment with pushing, stretching, and playing with these ideas to develop a language that feels both personal and intentional. • How can we use values to evoke specific sensations? • Which colours best convey our emotions? • How can our marks and composition and add deeper layers of meaning to our work? By the end of the day, you’ll have learned new skills and ways to engage creatively. Most importantly, you’d have remembered that ‘Learning to paint well’ is one great thing, but ‘Learning to create the paintings that no one else’s but you could paint’ is the true magic! **Day 2, working with a model** We’ll apply our expanded creative toolbox to the unique challenge of working with a model. Moving beyond straightforward representation, we’ll create paintings that are grounded in reality yet elevated by your personal artistic choices. No two paintings will be the same: they’ll each be a mirror of your unique artistic voice. These two days are perfect for anyone eager to deepen their connection to their creative voice and develop a more personal painting practice. Whether you are an experienced painter or new to the practice, Suzon welcomes participants at all levels and with any medium: oil, acrylic, gouache, colour pencils… come with what inspires you! The workshop will take place in a supportive and inspiring environment, encouraging creative risk-taking, curiosity, and the discovery of your own visual signature. We plan to share a vegetarian lunch, optional. **[Info and bookings on our website](https://www.dulwichartgroup.co.uk/product/beyond-figure-painting-explore-your-art-voice/)**

Join us for this free, in person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Do you want more motivation and confidence to build lasting relationships? Are you burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival, while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is held at the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
