WATERCOLOUR: LIGHT, BRIGHT AND FRESH with Harry Westera Light, Bright and Fresh are natural qualities of the translucent, flowing medium of watercolour painting. But sometimes our tones and colours can look muddy and overworked, washed out or too dark. Over two Saturdays, we will look at the processes, techniques, colours and mindset which help to better express the vitality and beauty of this versatile medium. Suitable for all levels of experience. All materials supplied. 2 Sat, 23 - 30 Jul 9:30 am - 4:30 pm Byron Concession: $189 Full Fee: $210

EXPRESSING MOOD AND EMOTION IN WATERCOLOUR with Harry Westera It is not just the subject of an artwork that evokes an emotional response in us. More importantly, it is the manner in which the subject is portrayed. The same portrait, still life or landscape could be bright and cheerful, dark and wintry, warm and comfortable, terrifying, or just fun and playful. We will explore how to use colour, light and shade, design, brushwork and painting processes to communicate a range of themes, moods and feelings in watercolour. 2 Sat, 20 - 27 Aug 9:30 am - 4:30 pm Byron Concession: $170 Full Fee: $189 PLAYFUL PAINTING WEEKEND with Melanie Dilday There will be dancing, splashing, spraying, scraping, dripping, laughing and a head-over-heels love affair with colour. Each of us will be painting on a large canvas, adding new layers, in a fun and encouraging environment. Rediscover your enthusiasm for life and uncover painting talents you never knew you had. Sat & Sun, 6 & 7 Aug 9:30 am - 4:30 pm Mullum Concession: $162 Full Fee: $180 DRAWING & PAINTING
