Break free of your post lockdown lethargy and get into mixed media with Judith White.

Judith's work is a dynamic combination of materials, methods, concepts and subjects that challenge traditional boundaries and defy easy definition. The sky's the limit when creating with mixed media. By incorporating charcoal, inks, crayon, collage and acrylics in one artwork, you can utilize the best that each medium has to offer.

The workshop is designed to expand your ideas about contemporary art practice using the established observational methods of drawing through to finished mixed media painting. Subjects will include 'unconventional still-life' and landscape.

You will be encouraged to loosen up and break bad habits.

The workshop is based on landscape both imagined and real as a way into painting. Working predominantly in the studio, we will learn how to construct a better understanding of painting.

Murphy's workshop involves technical discussion at the start of each day focussed on formal areas of concern in contemporary painting and understanding the relation between the illusion of space and the ability to compose. We will talk about the use of colour in painting with an emphasis on developing your own voice.

Idris encourages participants to bring finished or unfinished works in progress to promote discussion and further development.

Materials: Acrylics are preferred in a workshop environment, however, please bring materials you would normally use in your landscape painting - canvas should be no bigger than a meter square. If you are starting work from scratch you may wish to bring sketchbook for making small studies to begin with.

Tim Allen's work is always about landscape, mostly wilderness landscape. His energetic mark making whether outdoors or in his studio is focused on finding the form and contours as he responds to the movement, energy and the anxiety of capturing a fleeting moment. He is a committed tutor and his energy is infectious. There are very few artists with the experience of Tim when it comes to painting directly from nature.

Students will be developing skills to respond artistically to the landscape in an immediate, powerful and spontaneous way. There will be daily demonstrations and informal discussion on art in the evenings. Our restricted numbers will give everyone quality time with Tim.

Tim has been finalist in many of Australia's important art prizes and in 2016 won the coveted Paddington Art Prize. His work and teaching experience have enabled him to fulfil opportunites and invitations around the world.
