Picnic and Paint – No: 6 – to be held at Tiny Tree Cafe – Coorparoo 14th November 2020

by admin on November 14, 2020 with No Comments

An amazing opportunity for you to meet one of Australia’s special Artists ….
Heinz Krautberger and have him cook a picnic lunch for you – while you paint in his ‘Bonsai Garden’ – not the everyday opportunity I have to say …… According to Phil Brown – The Courier-Mail arts editor and Brisbane News columnist ……….. ‘ Andre van der Kerkhoff aka Heinz Krautberger courts controversy….!’
I wouldn’t want to take that ‘nom de plume’ ……. away from him in any way as I first got to know Heinz when he was painting and exploring the World from the ‘Carlton Arms Hotel’ New York >>>> https://www.galleryand.studio/2017/08/21/andre-van-der-kerkhoff-dancing-with-dragonflies/
Now here is your chance to meet the man and sketch some of his most remarkable artwork …. with a difference | in his amazing and stunning – Bonsai Garden!

You will have a time tested approach to managing the proportions of the figure.
