On March the 19th I will be running a workshop at the Yarraville Community Centre from 10am - 1.30pm.

Everyone is welcome to view demonstrations and pick up pencils and paint to be introduced in to Botanic Art.

Week 2, term1

Ian came in with a great painting on Wednesday and Janet finished her Nasturtiums this Friday.

See the attached pictures.

The beginners are doing well and are practising mixing colours and brush techniques. Always some nervous faces in the beginning as some haven't touch brushes in ages or not at all.

Week 1, 2011

Included are some images of week 1. Some framed work was taken in and artwork that was finished over the break. Lovely work! Great to also see some previous students returning and meeting the new starters.

Term 1, 2011 Starting this week

This week our first term for 2011 will start. The classes are nearly full which is great. Thanks to those students that keep on re enrolling into the Botanic Art Classes.

I have set some new projects that the mentored students can work on if they like. Drawing with Charcoal. Challenging but beautiful medium that will teach you about contrast, detail, shading, large smooth surfaces, etc.

Also the new website is up and running. New images of students work and other news will be published regularly.
