Two Day Pastel Landscape Workshop Longreach
This is a workshop to expand the use of pastel. We will look at brief theory of design, particularly for collage; how pastel can be used as a wet medium as well as dry; pastel underpaintings; and texturing paper for pastel. Participants can choose to work in a traditional manner or a more contemporary approach. Tricia’s teaching process includes theory, handouts and demonstrations.
Two Evening Drawing Workshops Longreach
Two separate evening workshops of three hours, exploring drawing techniques and processes.
Two Day Mixed Media Workshop Barcaldine
This workshop includes looking at the processes for professionally including drawings in collage on canvas. We will be working on two gessoed canvases, one smaller (about 10 by 12 inches or 11 by 14 inches or thereabouts) and one at least 24 x 30 inches. On the first day we will briefly cover basic design principles; look at preparation of drawings for collage; and collage the canvas surfaces. On the second day we will complete the works with paint and/or dry drawing media. Bring along any drawings you’d like to use.
One Day Life Drawing Workshop
We will briefly cover wet and dry media tonal underpainting; design considerations for placement of drawing on the paper; exercises from photos. Then progress to drawing the figure from life firstly in short poses followed by some longer poses. Hopefully there will be time to discuss how to use these drawings as studies for more considered works, in collage etc.
Basic Considerations for Abstracts
Presentation on design and composition considerations for abstracts, including the power of texture and colour.
Presentation on the photo transfer process Karol Oakley Online Art Society
A thorough presentation on the process, surfaces and ideas on use, of the photo transfer technique.
Demonstration – RAS Open Day 65th Anniversary Celebration
I will be demonstrating art techniques from 9am to 2pm on this special day for the Redcliffe Art Society on the celebration on being 65 years in existence. I am proud to be a Life Member. There is a specail exhibition of works from past winners of the RASart exhibitions including works from the Council Collection.
One Day Drawing on Canvas Workshop
We will cover some basic drawing principles including mark making and achieving tone, creating drawings from various exercises; cover brief design theory and select and collage drawings; and complete the canvas with wet and dry charcoal. The focus is on how to utilise drawings on canvas ensuring an archival and acid free result.
Judging and demo
Coolum Art Collective's Exhibition where I'll be judging and doing a demonstration
Glazing with Pastel
Discover how to subtly shift, soften, or “grey down” colour using pastel glazing techniques. In this demonstration, Tricia Reust will show how delicate layers of pastel can transform existing colours, adjust mood, and refine harmony within a painting. A practical and insightful session for artists wanting more nuanced colour control.
