  • Workshop 1          Saturday, February 13                                                      Graphite Pencils
DRAWING TECHNIQUES    A workshop designed specifically to help you hone your drawing skills with graphite (lead) pencils. The focus will be on learning to correctly ‘see’ shape and form. Starting with a series of exercises, students will gain a greater ability to complete a drawing project or two in the afternoon.

  • Workshop 2         Saturday, March 13                                                     Watercolour Pencils
COLOUR PENCILS - WET & DRY   Finally get to use those water-soluble (aquarelle) colour pencils that you’ve been hanging onto but didn’t know how to utilise! Discover different ways of working with these pencils and how to combine them with watercolour paint to get the best results for your chosen subjects. Also learn about using solvents for non water-soluble pencils and how to establish an underlay to quicken the colouring process. After some short exercises and information, students will create a coloured pencil painting with a variety of wet and dry techniques.

  • Workshop 3         Saturday, April 10                                                                       Watercolour
CREATING MOOD WITH NEUTRAL TINT    Learn how to establish subdued light effects with Neutral Tint, a grey paint pigment that changes the chroma of other colours without a temperature bias. Jan loves using this versatile pigment and you will also become enthused after seeing it in action in the projects provided! Bring a tube or learn how to mix it from colours in your palette.

  • Workshop 4           Saturday, May 8  Mother’s day weekend                           Watercolour
COLOURFUL FLOWERS    Treat yourself and/ or your mother to this special day of painting colourful flowers with watercolour. Whether a beginner or experienced, there will be a project to suit. Jan will supply materials if you don’t already own some and you will be spoilt with home-made special delicacies to celebrate the honour of motherhood! Please be sure to book ahead and of course, you don’t have to be a mother yourself to attend.    
 
  
  • Workshop 5        Saturday, June 12                                                                        Watercolour
STILL-LIFE PAINTING – In the style of Shirley Trevena   After setting up our own still-life in the studio, we will analyse the methods of UK artist Shirley Trevena and emulate her painting approach. https://shirleytrevena.com/  This will give you a greater appreciation for her unique style and introduce some other ways of painting in watercolour. Bring a camera, iPad, tablet or mobile phone to photograph the set-up.

  • Workshop  6        Saturday, July 10                                                                     Colour Pencils
EXPERIMENTING WITH SURFACES   Discover the possibilities of working on different supports that suit colour pencils. Have fun trying out various unusual papers that Jan will supply and see the array of other surprising surfaces that will inspire creativity. To the best of Jan’s knowledge there is no other workshop like this in Australia! So bring your pencils and be ready to try something different.

  • Workshop 7       Saturday, August 14                                                                     Watercolour
PAINTING WHITE FLOWERS   This project caters for all skill levels. The day will be spent painting the subtleties of colours found in white flowers and learning how to maximise contrast. There will also be a focus on creating lovely, blurry backgrounds. All reference material will be provided and it is not essential to have drawing skills.

  • Workshop 8       Saturday, September 11                              Graphite and Colour Pencils
UNDERGROUNDS & LAYERS    Create a graphite pencil tonal underground then layer with a ‘glaze’ of colour pencils. Stormy skies, moody landscapes and olde worlde scenes are some of the subjects that best suit this technique. Jan will bring a range of references to choose from.

  • Workshop 9       Saturday, October 9                                                                    Watercolour
REFLECTIONS IN WATERCOLOUR    Paint reflections in water and/or on shiny surfaces and learn the science behind it. It’s not just a matter of painting what you see, but knowing what you see and why! Students will gain knowledge in painting reflections which will translate into skills useful for all media.

  • ​Workshop 10    Saturday, November 13                                                                     Gouache
AN INTRODUCTION TO PAINTING WITH GOUACHE.    Although somewhat similar to watercolour paints, gouache requires some different techniques in its application. Its unique qualities are perfect for illustrations, poster-style work and subjects with a lot of detail. Learn how to use this medium with confidence and create an artwork with vibrant flat colour.

  • Workshop 11      Saturday, December 11                                 Watercolour & other media
INCORPORATING PATTERNS & MOTIFS IN YOUR ARTWORK   Using a created collage incorporating patterned papers, you will then paint this new reference in watercolour. Additional media may be added, such as gouache, pen, pencil and/or colour pencils. This takes an ordinary still-life scene for example and gives it some pizzazz! Subject choice could also be animals, birds, pets etc. Bring a paper print of a favourite subject and see how to give it more excitement.
