A PROMINENT Russian artist will be producing work at a North-East gallery.

Alexander Terenin, from Moscow, will demonstrate and showcase his work at Colliers, in Dean Street, Newcastle, on Saturday.

Visitors will be able to watch him painting in oils throughout the day and ask him questions as he works.

The open days are part of Colliers' initiative to enable local people to see what goes into making art.

On April 12, Alexander Millar, from Longhorsley, will exhibit and draw his "gadgie" characters and North-East artist John Coatsworth will be concluding the open days with his "bendy" views of Newcastle on April 26.
