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!

Ultramarine Blue
Indigo
Cadmium Yellow – Deep
Phthalo Blue
Alizarin Crimson and/or Deep Cadmium Red – or similar colours
Pyralene Green
Titanium White – or White Gouache whichever you have in your paint box – this is an important pigment for a change 😅

Watercolour Inks – any inks you have you are welcome to bring – but at least these 2 below

Aquafine Watercolour Ink – Raw Sienna
Black – waterproof ink any brand, and nib pen for details

A Palette to mix your paints in – not a flat palette but preferably one with deep bucket holes or bring small bowls that will allow you to mix puddles of paint – this is important for the style of Work we will do!
Brushes – at least those below – but please bring whatever brushes you have in your kit:
At Least 1 of each brush below – more will help you:

1 each x 1/2 inch and 3/4inch Angle Shader
1 x wide wash brush at least 2 inches in width – for wet work, we recommend the 2 inch Art Spectrum Soft Varnish Brush – I would recommend you have at least 2 with you, and
1 x wide dry brush at least 2 inches in width – feel it with you hand and maker sure it is very soft Goat Hair recommended – for dry work –
1 x Squirrel Needle point or Chinese style calligraphy brush for detailed line work and layering of your colours – we recommend No10 – NEEF Squirrel Needle Point – see the images below and on the cover photo for guidance!

Other Tools:
1 x old kitchen spray bottle – washed out and ready to have clean water to spray across your paints – I recommend an old ‘Windex’ Bottle of similar to give you a good spray of water.
Paper Towel and a large Bath Towel in case we decide to go really fully – Wet on Wet
a 2B pencil and if you would like a rubber
Hair dryer to dry your work between layers
Backing board to tape your sample papers down (core board or similar from Bunnings) and
Tape to manage your paper – we don’t use an easel we tape the paper to the backing board so we can move the paper and tilt or turn as needed to manage your paint and water.
