The Perfect Art Workshop Scene
A friend of mine came up with the idea of a backyard Art Workshop. Her own backyard has the ideal view with Mt Nangar on the horizon, a homestead in the mid-ground and an olive grove in the foreground. It’s the perfect scene.
Eight enthusiastic women signed up and we enjoyed a beautiful sunny afternoon creating masterpieces. Wine and a wonderful charcuterie platter set the stage for a wonderful time.
Getting Started
To get everyone started painting the perfect art workshop scene, I began with a landscape painting lesson. This involved some art basics such as perspective, composition and colour management. The ladies experience ranged from complete newbies to dabblers in art. I impressed with how focused everyone was even after a few wines. A great afternoon was had by all with eight diverse paintings were created. Â
Expressions of Interest
There are so many amazing landscape scenes in the area around Canowindra to inspire the artist in all of us. We have wineries with amazing views such as Rosnay Organic Wines and Wallington Wines and they would love to welcome a small group of budding or experienced artists to visit and capture the scenes on canvas.
Costs will be around $120 per person. This includes an art lesson, art supplies, wine (or an alternative for non drinkers such as myself), and a delicious food platter to share throughout the afternoon. Transport can be arranged to and from the workshop for $30pp for those who would appreciate a “Plan B”. Let me know if you are interested in participating in an art experience and workshop like this in the future.
