Summer Workshop making a Gouache Painting with mixed media

Gouache Painting with Mixed Media  

As a fun start to 2025 I would like to propose a new workshop where you will be making a gouache and mixed media still-life painting on watercolour paper.

You do not need to have a drawing or painting background but must have an interest and love for art.  For this project I would like to suggest we stylise the pieces by making them quirky shapes or even unexpected scale.  I will of course still want shading which will make them stand out and make them appear more realistic.  I will guide you through this.

Stylising works was a no-no at art school but it works perfectly and is very freeing for this particular project.

E.g. you will see my sample piece has flat planes, not too many curves and scale is out for sure.  The bottom painting was made in a workshop by Rochelle.

Art for All is a Fairfield Primary School Art Exhibition

The exhibition is over 3 days from the 6th to the 8th September 2024.

I will be showing collage and assemblage at the Gallery shop.  Here are a couple of the pieces that will be on display.  The woman sitting on the pineapple holding the yellow flower has a little stitching on it and the shakespearean woman is raised in 3D on a book cover called Shakespeare (it was old and damaged I don’t cut up just anything).  All three unique pieces will be in the gallery shop with another 14 pieces all of different sizes and subject matter.  Oops I almost forgot the hydrangeas are a painting on Arches watercolour paper.

Hope you will stop by and have a look at the shop as well as the larger exhibition.

Collage and Mixed Media Artwork

by | Aug 11, 2024 | Art, art workshops melbourne, Assemblage, Collage, Exhibition, Uncategorized

Here are three collage works made to a theme suggested by our group Melbourne Collage Meets.  The first prompt and image was wreath or circle, the second was dog and the third was Flinders Street Station (a famous Melbourne landmark).  The next two images are acrylic paintings on watercolour paper of hydrangeas with a little pencil work on them.

Our Melbourne Collage Meets group have now been meeting for a few years at a Fairfield Cafe and our newest group in Fitzroy North have been meeting for around 6 months.  The latest news is that a new group will be formed very soon, possibly in Ivanhoe or somewhere surrounding this area.  If you are interested please know these meetings are free, they are not workshops yet we do influence one another.  The only cost would be to buy a coffee and cake or similar to support the cafe we meet at.  More information can be supplied if you contact me.
