A Mixed Media – Celebration of Light in Your Artwork – Workshop 28 March 2026 – Brisbane Qld – Club Yeronga – Artist Wyn Vogel

Discover Light and Shadows – In Your Artwork

A Mixed Media – Experimental Workshop with Artist Wyn Vogel

Wyn is back in Brisbane, Australia for the first time in 16 months and we are looking to celebrate the Volunteers who helped us with our Fund Raising Fashion Parade for The Australian Watercolour Muster Biennale – 2025 and also to help Jenny Loveday with her ‘Extension Work’ building relationships with Artists from St George, Balonne Shire and beyond – so your adventure and involvement with this Workshop will not only help you evolve your techniques but touch and reach out to many other Artists across Queensland and Australia!

What will be Workshopped?

• Techniques for discovering shadow in your Artwork – and time of day
• Techniques for lost and found loose washes
• The use of Mixed Media – Ink and Gouache

– Materials to Bring With You –

At least 1 full sheet 56 x 78cm – Arches 300gsm Cold Pressed Watercolour Paper

And some smaller sheets of watercolour paper to try out ideas – again experimental so these can be scraps from other Work if you have them!
