to see more about the art garden click here

Beverley is a town in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, 133 kilometres south-east of the state capital, Perth, between York and Brookton on the Great Southern Highway.

I have lived here for about 6 years now, and I love it

There are big wide streets, no traffic, and its very relaxed and laid back -

It's a small population but there are a few galleries in the main street now, with more being built

I think it's because its a great place to make art

You can drive from Beverley to Perth - depending on where you live - its about 90 minutes on average - but there are plenty of great places to stay overnight too

HOW DOES IT HAPPEN ?

This workshop is all about an easy technique that helps you to free yourself up and accept a bit of chaos on your canvas -

I spent many months working out the process and would love to share it all here with you in a series of simple steps

EASY STAGES

* This project book naturally breaks up into easily achievable stages

* It is simple and great fun - the first exercise is playing with my new hand made paint, and exploring colours together

* Then I supply the paper with some guided shapes to create the background wash of your super favourite colours-

* Then we have a break to eat lunch, where you can walk up to the local cafe, bakery or eat your own lunch in the garden

* Then we have a play around creating markmaking shapes and explore shapes in nature

* Then we put the next layers of markmaking onto the washes with all the different materials provided

* About now you are ready for a wine, coffee or tea, just to help give you a burst of energy to finish off your awesome work and get it mounted up to take home

* By the end of the day you will have learnt heaps about markmaking and watercolours- which is a wonderful addition to the skills of even an accomplished artist

* and because each element is broken down this technique will help a beginner create a complete painting

Other Workshops

Before I went completely abstract - I first became absorbed in mark making

It helped me to loosen up and realise how pleasurable art was without the boundaries of expectation

Every mark is a surprise - and there is no pressure because it can be a background that you paint over - it is a wonderful feeling

As a controlled artist for over 30 years I felt a rush of the wonder I had experienced as a young artist just learning everything, it was so exciting

Since then I have been breaking more and more boundaries and have immersed myself into abstract art - I LOVE IT - and you can do it too
