Greg Allen demo – completed watercolour painting
Join Greg for a fascinating journey into watercolour that will open the eyes of any student new to the medium, while confirming and enhancing the knowledge of those that have some experience.
You will tackle a range of familiar scenes such as land and sea as well as a wildlife subject, that when completed, will cross-pollinate people’s skills with plenty of ‘penny -dropping‘ moments!!
Proper technique, colour mixing, planning, wash order plus design and composition are just some of the aspects that will be tackled, so you begin to see the world through the eyes of a ‘watercolourist’ and not merely your former self.
Students will be expected to bring their own gear. Greg will provide reference material.
Don’t miss out on this wonderful opportunity to learn from a master watercolour painter.
Please note: this workshop is a repeat of the workshop Greg held at Peninsula Arts Society on 3-4 October.

Catherine Hamilton – Gouache Paintings
Working on your own favourite subject I will give you some different ideas as to how to approach and begin your composition by concentrating on the light and shadows to create impact. Colour is important so I will show you how to apply transitions of colour across the subject to create unity, depth and tone.
You can work in either of the water based mediums – acrylic or gouache – or a combination of watercolour and gouache. The journey is similar for both these mediums.
Work on painting paper/watercolour paper or canvas. Large or smaller images. This is very much a course to have some individual guidance, and to practice some of the techniques you have already picked up in previous classes and workshops.

Charcoal Texture Collage by Jan Prislin-Planinc
A fun and inspiring drawing workshop inviting you to explore the countless possibilities charcoal drawing has to offer. It is designed to increase your appreciation of the role that line, tone, texture and composition play in expressive drawing, to help refine your technique and enhance your understanding of how charcoal drawing can enrich your own creative process.
The drawing exercises you will be invited to join in are designed to encourage free and creative exploration of what charcoal can do and what to look for when developing your own creative voice.
In a small class of 12, there will be opportunity for personalized feedback and positive and constructive discussion – another useful tool that can lead to new and transformative insights along our artistic journey.
Jan is a Melbourne based artist who has worked in various mediums, including oil and acrylic painting as well as charcoal drawing, printmaking and mixed media. A great believer in transformative and life-affirming power of art, Jan has recently also worked as an art teacher, encouraging others to embrace drawing as a way of observing, appreciating and relating to the world around us as well as a powerful tool for meditation and mindfulness.
