Service Description

Sunday August 9th 1.00-4.00pm Teacher: Karen Bowen In this introductory class Karen will go over all the basics to get you started using oil paint - the paint, brushes, mediums, cleaning up, and application. Plus you'll create a small still life to take home. A great way to start using oils. All materials provided. Karen is an experienced oil painter, often painting familiar objects and landscapes in her compositions using intense, bright colours and bold lines to create works that celebrate the joy colour brings to her and the viewer. Karen spent 3 years working under Melbourne artist, Nell Frysteen who shared a love of colour with her and started her on a journey towards colour mastery. Influenced by Matisse, the Fauves and the Expressionists, Karen’s contemporary, domestic scale paintings, cards, and prints have found buyers through social media outlets and at Art & Alchemy Gallery & Studio, Kalorama.
