Looking for more experience with landscape painting and to learn more about oil painting? In September we have the workshop for you: Introduction to En Plein Air - Painting in the Landscape with Richard Blundell.⁠
⁠
The workshop’s practical working methods encourage an efficient and managed approach to picture making. In response to significant visual forms of Petrie Terrace, the en plein air painting tradition provides a platform for artists to address ideas about: the physical observable world; issues of culture; visual language; local knowledge; and the development of visual thinking. Perfect for beginners, or those who would like to build on their previous experience.⁠
⁠
When: Saturday, 27th of September, 9am - 2pm⁠
Ticket price:⁠
- RQAS Brisbane members: $100⁠
- Non-Members: $120⁠
⁠
Location: Meet at Petrie Terrace Gallery. Workshop will be held in Hardgrave Park (across Petrie Terrace from the Gallery). Wet weather plan will be advised if necessary.⁠
