FROM BEHIND THE EASEL

 Watercolours are my nemesis.....I have just completed two on-line courses a total of 10 weeks with Chan Dissanayake who is an excellent teacher and fabulous artist and then another 6 week course with a watercolourist who I shall not name, wonderful artist but not good at teaching and their technical equipment had a lot to be desired. Take note that if you are planning on attending an online course check out the teachers reviews. Do not be shy at asking to see a sample of their video and audio quality before you pay for the course.

Exhibition - Last weekend I entered three pastel paintings (see below) into the Pastel Association of Australia Annual Awards held at the Latrobe Art Space Gallery in Paddington, Brisbane. It was a great show, however all prizes went across the ditch to New Zealand artists. Well done everyone. 

My latest painting was titled "Bird Watching" and after completed it was quickly snapped up and SOLD to a couple in Crookwell NSW. The new owners will rename it after their own cat Mr Declan who evidently does this daily.
