Responding to landscape with Anna van Stralen - 16th and 17th September 2017 10am - 4pm
Anna will share her personal routines for making work; going for image collection walks, journal techniques, preliminary setup sketches, framing and creating and developing the colour palette. You will receive insight into painting on wood including how to achieve sharp edges, colour layers and balancing impasto and watercolour elements in the one piece. The second day will see you playing with Anna's techniques or generating your own response to these.
INCLUDES a home cooked lunch and drinks in the courtyard at the end of each day
Anna's work reflects upon the contrast between human structures and the breathtaking places they can be found. Her subject matter is currently the interplay between artificial constructions and chaotic natural forms. Anna Van Stralen completed a Bachelor of Contemporary Art with Honours in 2014, through the University of Tasmania, majoring in Painting. Since then she has been living and working in Launceston, helping raise her family, pursuing her painting practice and teaching tertiary painting at Tasmanian College of the Arts.
