The lowdown
Take your painting outdoors and explore the unique experience of working en plein air with artist Kevin McKay.
Join Kevin for this Saturday morning session on our doorstep, where you will learn how and why artists paint from life outdoors, responding to light, colour, atmosphere and the changing conditions of Bondi Road. Kevin will guide you through the process of developing a painting on location here at the School of the Arts Building community garden and help you build confidence in working outdoors.
This session is perfect for anyone who has wondered what it takes to paint outdoors and how you can take your painting practice on the road. It suits students with some prior experience of painting or drawing, however if you are a beginner and wish to join, you are welcome. This workshop will be held on the same day as our community art fundraising sale and is a wonderful way to spend the morning!
What to bring
All materials including drawing boards are supplied for this workshop and supported by Derivan Matisse. If you wish to bring a particular easel or stool to sit on or a picnic blanket, please do to ensure your comfort during the session.
Please be aware you will be outdoors. In the event of rain or inclement weather, we will provide a sheltered alternative.
You are welcome to bring any additional painting materials or specialist supplies you prefer to work with.
Please arrive a few minutes earlier to get your materials set up.
