WHO IS IT FOR ?

This workshop series is for artists, and art enthusiasts in general

This acrylic painting technique is all about exploring colour combinations and creating a loose chaotic under layer that you then cover over

its a fabulous and liberating experience, there is no pressure for things having to be 'right' - its a great learning experience for an artist that hasnt explored abstract painting before

Then we play with creating stamps and layering - which is very hands on, and useful techniques

Because each step is broken down into simple exercises it is achievable for absolute beginners to create a work of art

it lends itself to open any level of artist's mind to pure abstract painting....which is super fun and totally addictive

to see more about the art garden click here

Beverley is a town in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, 133 kilometres south-east of the state capital, Perth, between York and Brookton on the Great Southern Highway.

I have lived here for about 6 years now, and I love it

There are big wide streets, no traffic, and its very relaxed and laid back -

It's a small population but there are a few galleries in the main street now, with more being built

I think it's because its a great place to make art

You can drive from Beverley to Perth - depending on where you live - its about 90 minutes on average - but there are plenty of great places to stay overnight too

HOW DOES IT HAPPEN ?

This workshop is all about an easy technique that helps you to free yourself up and accept a bit of chaos on your canvas -

I spent many months working out the process and would love to share it all here with you in a series of simple steps

EASY STAGES

* This project book naturally breaks up into easily achievable stages

* It is simple and great fun - the first exercise is laying down your favorite colours onto the wooden canvas

* Then we let that dry and get into making some stamps - practicing with them on paper and cards

* Once we are well practiced and ready - we stamp onto the wooden canvas creating a cacaphony of colour and shapes

* Then we have a break to eat , where you can walk up to the local cafe, bakery or eat your own lunch in the garden

* We come back to a table ready to look at templates and shapes or ideas to put a light layer over your canvas

* About now you are ready for a wine, coffee or tea, just to help give you a burst of energy to finish off your awesome work

* By the end of the day you will have learnt heaps about markmaking, templates and stamping- which is a wonderful addition to the skills of even an accomplished artist

* and because each element is broken down this technique will help a beginner create a complete painting

Other Workshops

Before I went completely abstract - I first became absorbed in stamp painting

It helped me to loosen up and realise how pleasurable art was without the boundaries of expectation

Every mark is a surprise - and there is no pressure because its a background that you paint over - it is a wonderful feeling

As a controlled artist for over 30 years I felt a rush of the wonder I had experienced as a young artist just learning everything, it was so exciting

Since then I have been breaking more and more boundaries and have immersed myself into abstract art - I LOVE IT
