Workshop encourages experimentation

 

art workshop(copy)Who said work and play don’t mix? Mangawhai photographer Jeanette Vickers once again opened up her home to a ‘budding artists’ workshop held recently under the guidance of tutor Wendy Clifford.

The open-to-all workshop saw six artists take part, covering a range of styles and talents.

An experienced tutor, Wendy encouraged experimentation in the workshop. With four different still life arrangements, each student could choose from different themes – traditional flowers, Asian, Pacifica, and the classic Chianti.

In the afternoon the students were encouraged to draw with pastels from their own stock of pictures putting into practice techniques learnt from the morning session.

“It was fabulous to see the artists’ concentration and the work they put in to produce remarkable pastel art works,” said Wendy.

“Our place has great lighting so everyone can see very clearly what they are doing and compare notes,” says Jeanette, whose property overlooks the Mangawhai estuary.

The group who also enjoy a casual catered lunch.

TECHNIQUE: Megan Kendall and Ann Bolton work on their still life pastels.
