Saturday 2nd August AND
Saturday 9 August
9:30 - 1:00pm
Cost: $50 Members

Note: This workshop is held over two

Urban sketching is a fun and quick way to capture the world around you – in a café, at the airport, on the street, at the footy, on your travels – the subjects are endless. Anyone can learn urban sketching and Kim will provide you with the basics to get started, to build your confidence and to develop your own expressive style. So grab your sketchbook and join the many sketchers worldwide who record life on location!
At KimPen’s workshop you’ll gain tips to heighten your observational skills, to render line direction, structure, volume, space and texture using pen and watercolour.
You will leave with a sketchbook full of ideas based on the many examples that you have worked on over the two Saturday morning sessions.
FRAMING THE LANDSCAPE IN MIXED MEDIA
with Gemma Rasdall
Saturday 14 June
9:30-3:30 (1 day)
Cost: $42 Members
$52 Non members
Join Gemma for a fun and expressive day of experimenting with mark making using a variety of media. All levels welcome, however basic painting skills are an advantage.
The Tasmanian landscape is alive with colours, shapes and textures that tell stories of place. We will set out to capture these stories through an exploration of the bushland surrounding the Mt Nelson studio.
Making studies from life, we will collect natural materials and record via notes and sketching to assist our artmaking in the studio and will explore a variety of mixed media to create a landscape painting.
Enhance your creativity while learning new techniques to curate a colour palette, build compositional skills, experiment with different mediums to create texture.
You will leave with a complete artwork and a sketchbook full of ideas based on the visual narrative of the bush landscape.
