last weeks class captured the movement of a birds wings with gesso and watercolour technique

Great job, class!! Can't beat a classic step by step to really learn good techniques....So proud of you x

Two exciting workshops undertaken at Amherst Library recently went well, I think! Learn to Draw and Introduction to Watercolours - I have to say the staff were absolutely amazing and so professional and the participants were fantastic - willing to give something new a go and made some beautiful work! Congrats City of Gosnells - you have a gem in that place - keep it going! Below is an image from a studio workshop I ran for Introduction to Watercolours.....so much fun

I recently had three pieces in an exhibition and thought I would share them here on the blog. The trees are watercolour on large boards which have then been waxed.
​The basket is 'Elemental'  and you can read about it here

wow. I had an amazing surprise yesterday in my kids after school class. A dad who comes with his daughter, took special note of last weeks drawing lesson and followed the line to draw a shape first. We did Endre Penovac cats with Chinese ink and he was a natural!!! He had a real gift for them. So proud of you, Doug. It was a real challenge but you aced it.....
