REGULAR UNTUTORED WORKSHOPS
All regular workshops are untutored, self-managed groups. While the photos below were taken at various venues, as from 2nd September 2011, all these workshops are held at the Montrose Studio, in the grounds of Montrose Access at 54 Consort Street, CORINDA (see News page). Fees: Members $10, non-Members $15. A professional model is hired for these groups. However, the Tuesday and Saturday groups do not require a model so the fees are $5 for members and $8 for non-members. Everyone welcome.
NOTE: There is more room in the plein air painting group that meets on the second Saturday each month. Please let us know if you would like to join us in a wonderful morning of drawing and painting. What better, more relaxed way to start the weekend!
Below left, we see the Friday group at Life Class in the Studio; middle, Charles working under cover with the Saturday morning outdoor painting group; and Peter with a quick watercolour and ink sketch of the Studio also on Saturday morning.

Above: During the coffee break at an untutored life class workshop, Donald demonstrates a technique he has developed that takes the wrinkles out of thin paper after you have completedd the artwork, such as a watercolour. It involves a double layer of paer, the underneath one providing the stretching power required to flatten the top layer. This is invaluable for artists who use thinner paper for life drawing accompanied with a watercolour or ink wash.
