This week I am commencing KIDS WORKSHOPS at Bird House Studio for the first time. I am keeping them small (no more than 5 in a group.) This way each student has their own work station in my studio and I can give more attention to each student.
I am setting these workshops up as a bit of an bush retreat experience. Coming in early for the 1st session we wander our Land for Wildlife property and look and listen for birds, sketching what we see. We develop these drawings in to paintings with a demonstration of how to build/layer your canvas and showing them various painting effects to add interest/ texture to your scene. All works are signed by the student and I string them so they can take home to hang on your wall.  Wooohoo we had a full page spread in the paper on Sunday for June's Art Trail. The next one is Sunday 19th July!
 This Sunday 14th June.
Market: 10-4pm. Bamboo Bar opens 2pm Music starts 3pm & goes til 9pm. See you down there! When times are bad
And your soul is sad And you need a little love A little hope to help you cope the stars that shine above Marnie Jay art Provides that spark To give a little life A little lift A canvas gift To forget about the strife by Paul Johnstone * I have been invited to be a part of the Darwin Art Trail this year.
