ArtExtra is hosting a weekend art workshop with tutor Tonee Messiah. Learn to read the environment and the processes to translate them into creative abstract responses in “ACCESSING THE ABSTRACT “ on beautiful Berry Mountain. Suitable for intermediate and advanced skills.

Art Workshops at Berry will host noted artist and experienced educator, Idris Murphy who will teach a 2 day workshop focusing on painting and sketching directly from nature.

Students will be exposed to a variety of ideas and approaches with informal discussion on composition, colour, mark-making, influences and spacial illusion. Students can paint in any medium. Small class size allows for individual attention, critique and developing your own style.

Idris’ work is held in the public collections of the Australian National Gallery, the National Library of Australia and the Art Gallery of NSW. He was winner of the ANZAC Prize 2015 and is highly experienced in teaching as a Senior Lecturer at the College of Fine Arts.

Using drawing materials and/or paints, develop your skills in capturing atmosphere, light and distance unique to working outdoors.
