Balmoral and Beyond

Our latest workshop was Balmoral and Beyond with The Workshop Art Centre, in Willoughby.

This was a two-day holiday Workshop with the first morning planned for en Plein Air painting focusing on drawing and painting at Balmoral Beach Mosman.  And the afternoon and following day developing drawings into paintings.

Unfortunately this time torrential rain, but hey! What’s a bit of rain for intrepid artists? Where there’s a will, there’s a way and some very quick sketches, quite a few photos and we were back to the warm dry studio at the Workshop Arts Centre.

 

Some wonderful work was produced by everyone including taking advantage of those wonderful cloudy skies.
