Participants will complete multiple en plein air landscape works using a modern, tonal paint application, adapting the approach taken by early Australian impressionists (Streeton, Meldrum etc).
We will discuss the fundamentals of producing paintings speedily using a direct approach, with powerful light effects and loose brushwork. The workshop will include tips and techniques to quickly capture light in the landscape, including tonal values, composition, measurement, brushwork, colour and mixing with a limited palette. ALL LEVELS

Ray has had five successful solo shows at the VAS. He is an accomplished portraiture artist and has participated in live painting events painting prominent Melbournians. Ray’s works appear in collections in Victoria, interstate and overseas.
