I spent six fabulous days in Hobart teaching a workshop for the Botaniko Art Group. They are an amazing group of local artists who meet weekly to share ideas and techniques. As you will see from the images below, the final results of the workshop were incredibly impressive.
I love going to different places to teach as the groups all produce local subjects which makes it quite exciting for me. And they are always so generous and welcoming.

Works in Progress - some drawings, colour studies and first washes
The last day of the workshop. Superb progress was made by all, and many need just a few more washes.
I loved teaching this workshop, and managed through several seasons of weather during the day, but ample heating, and the loan of a woollen scarf saw me through.
The workshop was not all about finishing. It was about the processes and techniques required to get to the final painting. I say to my students that workshops are so beneficial, as if you just take home one valuable piece of advice, it is worth it.
There are some more notes about the paintings and the artists on my Facebook page.
These are really fine pieces of work Leonie, Tasmania must be on theh bucket list.
