2 Days Workshop – To Explore and Paint In The Wilds of Wilsons Prom and Walkerville ‘The Kilns’ – with Artist – Wyn Vogel – 22nd and 23rd March 2025

with No Comments

Walkerville sits at the northern entry to Wilson’s Promontory and the coast is rugged and beautiful!
For this Workshop we will explore the local scenery – the local floral and fauna and series of preliminary works that will hopefully form the basis of an Exhibition by Artist Wyn Vogel – towards the end of the year!

Wyn will work with you to share her insights, her approach to construct of a painting and inclusion of the critical elements – nailing a story that has thrived since the 1800’s

You will discover how to mix your paints on paper not on a palette – the freedom of watercolour and pigment – the mix of light and shade – highlighted with the renown marks of Wyn’s ink nib pen!

Inspiration at Low Tide – Format of the Workshop Days
We will explore at low tide the structures at the foot of the cliffs along the base of Cape Liptrap Coastal Park – Waratah Bay and Walkerville itself – we will take sketches and photos and if the weather is good we can work Plein Air – if the weather closes in on us, we have access to the local Hall and this will provide us with shelter in between our forages to find inspiration at low tide around the Kilns and along the rugged Coast line.

Accommodation
These workshops have really been developed for some local Artists who have worked with Wyn in the past in Brisbane – however, we are open to others to join us – 

If you are keen to join us please contact Artist Wyn Vogel – for full details >>> https://www.fishlanestudios.com/contact/ – accommodation is not readily available and you may have to Google Search accommodation around Waratah Bay and you will need your own transport in and out of Walkerville.

Something Different Gold Coast 21st February 2024 – Celebrate Chinese New Year – A Chinese Lantern Still Life – a conversation re Pro/Brush Markers and techniques for painting Chinese Dragons

with No Comments

There is often no reason for moving to multi-media other than the whim of the Artist – but with these Marker Pens – there are strong options for achieving texture and interesting options to lift your Artwork from the mundane to the vibrant!

With this Workshop – Artist Wyn Vogel will discuss options for a combination of Watercolour and Marker Pens – what better time to be tempted with the bright colours of the Chinese New Year and their gorgeous ‘Lanterns’ these are the inspiration – there are funky and traditional to choose from!

The structure of the paper and thread that are the basis for the construct of these Lanterns lend themselves to the being shaped with the styles on the end of the marker pen.

Don’t forget to bring your lunch and a mug – tea and coffee will be provided.
