Rusty Roo
artists retreat a place to let your soul breathe.
Painting in the landscape.
October 2008 Friday 3rd - Sunday 5th.
 
Nicola Moss MULTIPLE LAYERS – An experimental Process.
This
workshop is an opportunity to experiment, try ideas, let go, and work through
process without knowing the end point; and see where it takes you.
We
will explore ways of layering; working with techniques of glazing,
mark-making, silhouette, print reduction and multiple views; in paint and
various media. We will attempt to develop works that immerse the viewer and
slowly reveal; through rich varied surface and layered imagery. We will
source the surrounding landscape for visual inspiration.

national competition. She is represented in Brisbane,

This workshop is best suited for
those artists with previous experience.
We happen to agree with Bob Dylan ‘ .. the answer my friend is blowing in the wind .. ’ all you
need is to be given the place, guidance and time to listen.
