Kiama Art Society

Creative Mixed Media Workshop:

 Outline of the course:

This fun, creative weekend course is designed to allow participants to work at their own speed, regardless of experience, to develop individualised semi representational or abstract works on board.

Participants will delve into the possibilities and combined use of acrylic paint, gelli prints, stencilling, textiles, positive and negative space, masking fluid and collage to create personally themed or abstract works.

Suitable for all levels of experience.

About Tracey:

Tracey is an well known artist and experienced educator. She has been a professional artist for forty years- twenty years as a graphic designer and art educator, and another twenty as a fine artist, gallery owner, exhibiting artist and art tutor.

Although Tracey worked for many years primarily in oils and acrylic, in more recent years she has introduced fibre and textiles into her painting, immersing herself in what seems to be the “endless” possibilities of mixed media.

Drawing: Investigating and Experimenting with Confidence

Tim Hardy

Drawing is the most powerful way of seeing objects comprehensively, and this is a major theme of Tim’s session.  He demonstrates this key drawing characteristic through using a series of different techniques to draw the same object.  In a more extended work, Tim creates a drawing combining different viewpoints of the same object, demonstrating how drawing encourages us to experiment.  All of these strategies are easy to adopt, and by practicing them we build our confidence in drawing.

Tim Hardy is passionate about the value of drawing, and is a multi-award winning artist, including first prizes for his drawings, pastels and mixed media works. Tim convenes the popular Artist Society of Canberra weekly workgroup, “Drawing Creatively”, and this year is an invited tutor for the Queanbeyan Art Society.  In 2017 he was artist-in-residence at Tasmania’s Cataract Gorge.
