- Notice biographique
- As a young girl Elizabeth Adela Stanhope Forbes (née Armstrong) studied at the South Kensington Art Schools. She returned to Canada then studied at the Art Students League (1877-80) with William Chase, who encouraged her to study in Munich with Frank Duveneck and J. Frank Currier, and she went from there to Pont-Aven, Brittany, in 1882. She began to use local people as models, and she sent work to the Royal Institute in London, where it all sold on the opening day. In 1883 she returned to London and in 1884 traveled to Holland. Following the summer of 1884, she returned to London where she learned drypoint etching from Walter Sickert and James Whistler. She became a member of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers, and she also exhibited at the Grosvenor Gallery and the Royal Institute. In late 1885 she and her mother moved to Newlyn and then to St. Ives, where she met her future husband, Stanhope Forbes. They married in 1889. Forbes worked in watercolour, oils and pastels, although after her marriage she no longer produced etchings. In 1891 she won a medal at the Paris International Exhibition and she became a member of the Grosvenor Gallery Pastel Society. She and her husband opened the Newlyn School of Painting in 1899. In 1900 she was elected an associate of the Royal Watercolor Society.
