容绳祖于1981年成为香港岭南派第二代大师杨善深的入室弟子。后修读香港大学校外部书法及篆刻课程，香港中文大学校外部毛笔使用课程。作品多次在香港大会堂及北京中国美术馆展出。篆书作品1985年入选河南省郑州国际书法展览，曾送日本展出。现任香港龙源画苑美术导师、春风画会理事、甲子书学会执行委员。

岭南画派倡导水墨技法的创新，融合传统工笔的细腻与西方写意的自然神态表现。传统工笔重勾勒与重彩，虽精准却显呆板；西方写意则注重写生与自然光影，突破外形局限。两者结合，形成岭南派独特的风格。容绳祖是香港第三代岭南画派代表，技法纯熟，热爱山野写生，作品在形与神之间达到和谐平衡。其用色典雅，意境悠远，观之令人叹服。

Yung Shing Cho was the protege of the second-generation Lingnan Master Yang Shanshen. The Lingnan school of painting incorporates both Chinese and Western influences, where the line-oriented traditional gong-bi (工笔) is fused with the spontaneous depiction of light and colours known in Western art. Equipped with proficient painting skills, Yung is considered one of the prominent representatives among the Hong Kong third-generation classical Lingnan School. Paying extra attention to details, honed by his hobby of sketching from nature, the harmonious balance between form and spirit, and the remarkable use of colours makes his works stand out among others.
