2 Day | Saturday 7 – Sunday 8 September 2024
ABSTRACT LANDSCAPES – only 1 place left! Revitalise your painting practice and expand your visual vocabulary of landscape abstraction. From sketching outdoors and looking towards nature, you will plan compositions, gather mark making techniques and these that be applied to paintings on wooden boards. Once painting we will draw inspiration from the sketches but paint intuitively, reacting to shapes, marks, colour and composition to give balance and harmony. We will be also using stencilling to give an extra dimension to the work. For those wanted to etch into the boards, we will use the wood burning kit. Texture, layering, colour mixing and having fun are the main elements of this workshop. Introduction/intermediate |
4 Day | Monday 9 – Thursday 12 September 2024
ABSTRACTION AND LANDSCAPE PAINTING – SOLD OUT please click the email link below if you would like to go on the waiting list Compared to the two days workshop, the 4 day workshop will allow artists to do more comprehensive sketches outdoors, from fast sketches to more detailed work. These can be used as reference works for many years to come. In the 4 day workshop we will paint a few works at the same time to allow a relationship to happen between the works but also let us constantly work on a piece while another dries. Intermediate |

Zoe Sernack's imagined landscapes reflect the forms of nature above and below the surface, weaving together observation, memory and sensory experiences of place.
She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from The National Art School and has been a finalist in many art prizes such as the Salon De Refuses (Wynne), Fisher's Ghost Award, Hornsby Art Award, Gosford Art Award, Into the Light Art Award and the Lethbridge 20000 Art Award.
A keen observer, she is often found sketching plants in Sydney gardens and parks. Working on timber boards, she uses a delicate colour palette, carving and textural mark-making to capture the rhythms of the Australian bush seen with the eyes and felt with the heart. Zoes’ objective has never been to depict but to evoke a visual connection. Whether it be a sense of place, a feeling or a memory.
Practicing for 28 years with some 75 exhibitions under her belt, Zoe is established in her practice and this will be a lifetime journey.
“I am constantly fascinated by the intelligence of the natural world, its networks below the earth’s surface and the flourishing compositions we see above the ground. I’m grateful that I can be inspired by the Australian landscape and its prolific botanicals.” ZS
