Speed Landscape Drawing and Painting

Speed Landscape Drawing and Painting

Sunday 30 March
Liberty Park - 10am - 1 Hours
Kat Parkin
The focus of this two-hour structured session is "speed" and "form", i.e. capturing the essence of a subject. You will be guided to complete some "warm-up" colour and drawing exercises and prepared for doing ink and watercolour-based painting in the session. You will learn how to quickly sketch and capture multiple subjects in the garden with ink and wash technique. You will be advised to keep things rather loose and time your drawing/painting. You will have a chance to meet and greet like-minded people, choose your own subjects in the garden and be guided to complete the exercises, and artwork and have some takeaway homework with the learned technique. All levels and experiences are welcome.

Title or Location: Rei?s Feet
I asked a mother to tell me a story of her hands. She told me that the memory she holds most dear is when she was giving birth. She reached out and felt the feet of her baby and at that moment knew life would never be the same. Her eyes filled with tears as she told me this story. That moment changed her life forever and I was able to help capture that beautiful story using a mixture of traditional charcoal on paper and digital to make the dark parts as dark as I wanted them.

I decided to try my hand at acrylic painting a little over two years ago as a hobby when I retired, and I haven?t been able to stop! This painting was a gift for my mother?s 90th birthday. I named it ?Mama?s Robin? in appreciation for the name she gave me at birth.

Title or Location: Sacred Healing Landscape
My amazing energy healing friend commissioned me to paint a picture of her sacred healing landscape where she takes pets and people on Shamanic journeys to receive life-changing energy healing. She verbalised her sacred space to me, and I painted this as a gift for her birthday.

Title or Location: Marvin
Meet Marvin! He?s my neighbor pup. His mom shared a photo with me that I used as a basis to practice painting. I?m not very good at drawing, so I used the photo to map out with a ruler and pencil on the canvas panel where specific features exist and then I connect the dots to ?draw? him, then I finish by painting. I?m finding that this method helps me to keep the dimensions correct across the entire panel.
