Spring workshops

We have four dates for workshops in the second half of 2023.

These workshops coincide with distinct seasons on the Granite Belt high country. Late winter sees the bush coming alive with native flowerings the air adrift with low scudding clouds under fresh winds. Late spring throws birds into the trees and a second stage of flowering in the bush. The air is crystal clear and the bush is full of sounds.

The first late winter offerings are on the weekend of the 26th – 27th of August and on the weekend of the 2nd – 3rd of September. The second Spring workshops are on the weekend of 28th – 29th of October and on the weekend of the 4th – 5th of November

On day one we will visually study and get to know a particular patch of natural landscape, on day two we will view this landscape with a model providing a human angle into the natural scene.

Workshops will comprise four three hour sessions beginning Saturday morning 8.30 am till Sunday 3pm. Artists should bring drawing and quick drying painting materials, choice of paper and brushes, water container and stool. The session sites are easily accessible within reach of amenities.

The workshops are held on our property 12kms West of Stanthorpe. Accommodation is not included in the workshop provision, there are plenty of choices for accommodation within easy reach, the closest areas to the workshop are Amiens, Broadwater, Greenlands, Glen Aplin, Stanthorpe.
