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.

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.

Assemblage of found objects
Still a little over a week to go for my exhibition at Fairfield Library Gallery Walk (Station Street Fairfield). Hope you get a chance to see it. Everything is listed on the QR code however if you go to my website I have all the works on paper and sculptural assemblages listed (also priced). Just contact me directly if you are interested in anything. I can deliver if local or post to you if you are far.
Cetta Pilati who is also exhibiting has some gorgeous marble and steel works. They are some of the very smallest work she has made so it is a great opportunity to collect a piece if you have been thinking about it.
www.annewarrenart.com Go to Works on Paper and Sculpture page for details and of course contact page if you need to send me a request or to ask for more information.

We would really love you to see what we have been making.
My assemblages are found objects, toys, blocks of wood, scrabble bits etc., from op shops and garage sales and bits and pieces that I have hung on to for years. I found people were very interested in what I was doing and that they were very generously gifting me some objects to use.
The collage characters are from found images in old books that I have collected for years. I made a series of these characters about 15 years ago and have just revisited making these again. I have added some wood blocks on the back of them to give them some distance from the wall which makes for more interesting shapes and shadows. The character collage works in Fairfield are displayed on blocks because I do not have a wall behind to hang them however blocks can be supplied and more permanently secured to the characters if you wish. I personally love the lone figure sitting unexpectedly on a wall.
Very, very sadly, I have not been gifted any old books or ephemera with pictures of animals or people or birds or dancers that would be good for collage. 🙁
Mouse. Character Collage with block attachment on the back as wallart. $50
Please keep in mind that I am still available to do workshops in art with beginners or more experienced in various Media. See my pages for works on paper, painting etc.
You can do a one on one class, a one off class, series of four classes or ongoing fortnightly classes to suit your needs.
Thanks for visiting, Wishing you all a fabulous December. 🙂
