8th - 12th January, 2024 (5 days)
at my Buderim studio - Sunshine Coast
5 fabulous days of painting and creating bliss. Become energized, be challenged, get excited and have a great time painting some amazing paintings as we explore together some of the many aspects of making a good painting. Lots of painting time here filled with heaps of tips and tricks I have learnt over the past 46 years as an artist and I want to share with you. Like minded artists on an amazing artistic journey of discovery and learning. Lots of good stuff here as we focus on composition, proportions, dynamic cropping for best use of photo reference (what to use, what to leave out and why.?) Easy to learn skills and techniques which you can confidently take away and use again at home.
