2021 QAS WORKSHOP PROGRAM2021 QAS WORKSHOP PROGRAM

TTHE Queanbeyan Art Society has developed an exciting and diverse range of workshops for 2021.

We have several nationally recognised tutors joining our local Canberra and Queanbeyan tutors next year. Together they will provide you with enthusiasm and encouragement to take your art in a new direction or to enhance your skills base in your chosen medium. These workshops will be ready to book in the New Year once pricing has been finalised. In the meantime, we will be accepting Expressions of Interest from 12 December 2020. Prices are likely to be between $160 and $240 for two-day workshops and Julie‗ portrait workshop will be under $100. All of these will make great Christmas pre-sents so get in early.

Take watercolour to the edge and find out what it is ―really‖ capable of doing. Go beyond the prosaic and create visual poetry in watercolour. This two day course will focus on the COMPLETE process of painting in watercolour- from the initial concept to the final masterpiece.

Drawing is a perfect way to experiment artistically, because drawing encourages spontaneity and directness. Through a series of drawing exercises in this workshop you will be encouraged to: loosen

up and become more adventurous; become more expressive; and grow in confidence about your own styles of creation. 1313----14 November Kerry McInnis Be Brave (Acrylics and Pastel mixed14 November Kerry McInnis Be Brave (Acrylics and Pastel mixed--media) media) Further Information to come.
