Event Details
YOUR ARTISTIC EYE An expressive, personal approach to landscape painting.
Art Workshops at Berry will host the talented and energetic artist/teacher Jo Bertini, who will teach a 2 day workshop focusing on painting and sketching directly from nature. This workshop is designed as a mentoring class for those artists interested in the genre of landscape painting and is intended to give artists the opportunity to develop their own particular thinking and personal visual language. Artists will practice different approaches and techniques, learn to look selectively, recognise instincts and habits and rather than reacting to impulses learn to use critical thinking.
The workshop will offer dedicated time in a place of creative fertility with like-minded colleagues. Artists will have time to paint, to contemplate, to be involved in a conversation about the nature of creativity uninterrupted in a natural landscape where there is an opportunity for reflection and exploration away from normal habits and conventions.
Painting ‘en plain air’ and studio practice will be explored in various experimental processes both instinctive as well as rigorously skill-based. The sensibilities and engagement of this creative experimentation achieve a unique interpretation for each individual student to then pursue with further confidence.
Artists will be involved in group discussions and independent practice and receive personal individual guidance, critique and mentorship. They are encouraged to bring any resource and study materials such as sketch books, drawings, photography, books (imagery and influences) and small scale concept studies. Also any works in progress that they wish to continue developing, plus all paints, (oil or acrylics or watercolours) canvases and painting supplies necessary. Group will be limited to a maximum of 8 participants.
Jo is a well-known artist who has exhibited her work around Australia for over 2 decades and has taught at tertiary institutes and workshops around the country for many years. Her style is energetic and focused on improving the practice of each artist. Jo has been a finalist in many prominent prizes including the Wynne, Sulman and Portia Geach.
The weekend workshop is held on a stunning 9 acre property, showcasing breathtaking panoramic views of escarpments, green valleys and pastures of grazing cows.
