May 6th           Sue Jokinen " Yupo Paper – ABSTRACT INKS"              
Following on from her demonstration on the 7th of March, she will be helping us create our own works of art using a relatively new product called “Yupo Paper”. Using inks or watercolours you can create the most beautiful and unique effects on this paper. There is no such thing as a mistake using this product, just happy accidents, and if you are not satisfied with the end product you can just wipe it clean. Sue will show you how to manipulate the inks or watercolours to create your desired effect. This will be one more thing to enhance your art practice.
The fee will be $90 as usual and Sue is happy to provide inks and Yupo for an extra amount which will be advertised closer to the event.  Please ring Gayl Finocchiaro to register your interest.

 

June 17th        Jeanette Prout "Collage and Mixed Media"

Covering: Figures in a Landscape, Landscapes, Still Life.  Glueing different types of paper and found objects whilst considering colour, composition, drawing and collage.  At the end of the day there should be 2 finished canvases per person.  Contact Gayl Finocchiaro on 0409 321 588 for further details.

August (date to be advised) Greg Hansell "Paint with Pastels"
Greg will talk about materials, then we will sketch a still life indoors. After a break and weather permitting, we will plein air pastels paint nearby the “Glen”, then show and share with a constructive chat. Greg is a well-known pastel painter. He has been a finalist in the Archibald and Wynne Prizes 20 times with a list of prizes and awards too long for this space. What a privilege it will be to attend a workshop with him. Again the fee is $90 and a materials list will be posted on our website closer to the time.

Please ring Gayl Finocchiaro on 0409 321 588 to register your interest

September 16th    Mark Dober "En Plein Air Workshop, any medium"
We are lucky to snap up Mark for a workshop whilst he is in Sydney as artist in residence. In this workshop participants can paint in any medium but note that the demonstration will be in watercolour. An en plein air workshop is anticipated but if the weather doesn’t permit Mark will change tack. The fee for this workshop is $90 and Mark supplies drawing boards and clips, brushes, palettes and water jars, so the materials list is not very long and will be published on our website closer to the date.

October 28th     Desley Stewart "Pastels"
Desley will show us how to produce a beautiful seascape using the pastel underpainting technique. Desley is a very accomplished artist as can be seen from her website. She is one of the Arcadian Artists, almost a local.

The fee for this workshop is $90 and a materials list will be published on our website nearer to the date.
Please ring Gayl Finocchiaro on 0409 321 588 to register your interest.
