  PASTELS AND PETS with Lizzy Connor (4 weeks)

  Painting pets with pastels can be a delightful and rewarding artistic endeavor. This course will explore creating images of some of our best friends with the lovely medium of soft pastel. 

  This workshop will investigate the properties and limitations of pastel including mark making, blending with fingers and brushes on small pieces of canson and colourfix.  We will be considering colour schemes, as there is little opportunity to mix colour, and what impact does the colour of the paper have on the colours of the pastel, the lightness or darkness of the paper will determine whether your working on shadows first or leaving your lights out.

  Participants are encouraged to bring an image of their best fur friend, or feathered friend.

  The Sunshine Coast Art Studio Group is holding a Paint & Picnic workshop for fun - similar to the popular paint & sip events.

  WORKSHOP OUTLINE

  The event will be a one-day session:

  • Morning Session (9.30 to start at 10 am to 12.30 pm)  This would introduce the basics, using the 3 primary colours (red, blue, & yellow) along with black and white.  Participants will learn how to paint while mixing colours, brush techniques, and even alternative tools that offer unique textures and effects.
  • Lunch Break (12.30 pm to 1.30 pm)  Participants would bring their picnic lunches to enjoy on our grounds.  We would provide tea, coffee, and juice.
  • Afternoon Session (1.30 pm to 4.00 pm)  Participants would continue their projects, applying to create unique pieces.

  FEES & MATERIALS

  The fee is $35 per session for members and $40 for non-members.  This covers:

  • A canvas for each participant
  • Access to our paints, brushes, and other materials

  Canvases would be prepped with either grey paint or Gesso, along with an outline of the topic.  We will use prepared images, allowing each participant to select a unique subject rather than having everyone paint the same image.

  “Dots and Dashes” A Pointilistic view of the World with

  Mellissa Read-Devine

  17 – 18 May 2025

  The early impressionist painters are well known for their use of brushstroke and visual texture in their paintings.

  With her own work often described as “macropointilist” Mellissa is keen to help you be able to find your own style and will encourage you to paint bolder and brighter, with an emphasis on vibrant colourful brushstokes. The weekend will be spent painting your choice of subject from your photos and sketches.

  Day 1 will be spent exploring the use of brushes and other tools to make semi abstract works inspired by flowers.

  Day 2 will be encouraging a different scene, perhaps an abstracted andscape or a continuation of the floral theme depending on your own tastes.

  Mellissa Read-Devine is a Fellow of the Royal Art Society of NSW and is the Acrylics tutor at the RAS Art School. www.readdevine.com
