Join us on Sunday 4th August for this wonderful opportunity to learn from award-winning artist Hadyn Wilson right here in the beautiful Southern Highlands. Book now to reserve your spot!
Australian Tonalism (or tonal realism) goes back to early 20th century Melbourne when Max Meldrum started the movement, before being joined by Clarice Beckett and others. Typically works use a limited palette and are characterised by a misty or atmospheric quality.
In this small group class, working in oil paint and from life, students will learn the fundamentals of loose tonalism with our exhibiting artist Hadyn Wilson.
This class is for you if you want to:
– Learn how to recognise colour temperature and mix colours to achieve the subtle gradations characteristic of Australian Tonalism.
– Gain a deeper understanding of how the arrangement and interaction of elements within the two-dimensional surface of an artwork contribute to a harmonious and engaging composition that works from a pictorial viewpoint.
– Develop observational skills in looking at light and how it interacts with a scene.
– Explore brushwork techniques to draw and paint that emphasize tonal variation over detailed linework.
– Develop an understanding of tonal values and how to apply them effectively in creating depth, mood, and atmosphere in your work.
Hadyn is an experienced teacher and a practicing artist who combines whole class teaching and demonstration with personalised guidance and feedback. Suitable for beginners to advanced artists.
Lunch and art materials are included, so you just need to turn up and enjoy!
