Lyn Mellady one of Victoria’s few Master Pastelists will demonstrate using pure pastel pigment to explore the drama of skylight over our coastal shoreline or waterways.
Peter Smales
Sat June 28, 2pm
I will paint a dramatic evening seascape along the Great Ocean Road featuring orange and blue colour combinations and circular composition.
Linda Robertson
Sun June 29, 11am
I will demonstrate the technique of drawing in oil-based medium on synthetic paper, working a human figure from memory in oil pastel. I will also explain some of the basic principles of figure drawing as I teach them in my life drawing classes.
Greg Allen
Sun June 29, 2pm
Something different from Greg Allen – He will demonstrate a medley of popular but simple subjects that are a delight to paint in Watercolour but are often misunderstood and overlooked. A must for beginners and indeed anyone who’s lost their watercolour mojo!
Danielle Robertson
Mon June 30, 11am
I will be using a combination of pan pastels, pastel pencils and pastel sticks on my favourite surface, pastel mat paper to paint a moth.
David Chen
Mon June 30, 2pm
David will demonstrate capturing the’ light and life’ of Melbourne’s summer on the beach; under the sizzling Australian sun, in one of his iconic seascapes.
It Hao Pheh
Sat July 5, 11am
This demonstration will feature a cross between the charcoal and watercolour medium. Watercolour has a wide range of colour scheme and a sense of lightness and easiness, while charcoal is bold and produces a sense of confidence in art. When combined, the artwork will display a sense of colour in beauty while also possessing a solid quality.
Jenny Croom
Sat July 5, 2pm
I’ll work from my own photos, showing how I establish a loose and painterly likeness to a model, with initial ‘mistakes’ being incorporated.
David Taylor A.W.I.F.V.A.S
Sun July 6, 11am
‘Magic moments, St Helens Tasmania’. This subject has a special magic, and the atmosphere combined with rocky outcrops, the sea and distant hill adds a distinct flavour for all to see and be a part of … not to be missed!
Craig Penny
Sun July 6, 2pm
Craig will be demonstrating ‘WATER IN THE LANDSCAPE’. He will paint in a free and loose style to capture the emotion and energy that is often witnessed in the landscape.
