Just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful class today. It was a real eye-opener! The emails have been flying thick and fast tonight, between the members, all agreeing what a great day we had today, in every respect. Can't wait for your next lesson - you are a very talented tutor as well as a wonderful artist.

Hi Jan, I enjoyed the workshop and I learnt a lot out it, the other students were nice to work with and it was pleasant to see a wide range of topics. I have a drawing project that I have been working on for a number of years now and this will help me keep inspired.

I’d like to thank you both for making today such a happy one for Fred.  He was very tired when he got home but he had a lovely day and couldn’t stop saying how kind you were.

NEXT TWO WORKSHOPS/EVENTS

Noosaville & Landsborough

14-15/2

9:00am

Light Effects in Watercolour, Noosaville

Mastering the use of tone, colour, light and shadows is essential for successful watercolour paintings. Learn how to create atmospheric impressions to suit a variety of subjects while discovering the differences in natural and artificial light. Time will be devoted to a lesson on setting up a still-life as a painting project, as well as insight of how to pitch paintings in different keys. Other lessons include the themes of water, skies, reflections, flora and fauna.

21-22/2

9.30am

Introduction to Aquarelle Colour Pencils, Landsborough

Finally discover how to use those water-soluble (Aquarelle) colour pencils that you’ve been hanging onto but didn’t know how to utilise! Explore different ways of working with these pencils and how to combine them with watercolour paint to get the best results for your chosen subjects. 

After some short exercises and information, students will create coloured pencil paintings with a variety of wet and dry techniques.
