The week is open to artists of all abilities, from beginner to experienced, the focus is on enjoyment and learning, dates are below.
Painting tuition will include :
The construction of paintings from start to finish with step by step instruction (Gordon will paint and give tuition as a group and individually)
* Composing and choosing a subject
* Using tone to create works with light and atmosphere
* Colour temperature to give atmosphere and depth of colour
* Mixing colour and using brushwork to create a painterly impression
Numbers are limited to provide one on one tuition.
Students who stay will be required to help with meals and bring their own painting equipment (we will provide the basic food provisions at cost price of around $100 /week and drinks, snacks etc are to be brought by the students).
Testimonials
”Congratulations on your workshop it was a pleasure to paint with a
group of people who had similar goals of improving their painting skills. I
thoroughly enjoyed every minute spent at your property at Nulla Nulla and the
day we spent painting plein-air down by the creek was special..
From a technical perspective it was good to watch you work and the
emphasis you placed on establishing the correct tones. I now understand i need
to be more considered in my approach to really looking and establishing the
tonal balance and to be far for patient in how I apply the paint , make a
considered mark move on and not rework.
Again thank you for a great week.”
Cheers..........Alan.
