Since early childhood, living in rural Victoria, Lynette’s passion for art and nature was very apparent. As a child she loved to collect books about animals and horses and spent most of her time out riding with her beloved Anglo Arab.

Lynette has experimented with a variety of mediums and styles with most of her recent work being created with a mixture of both brush, airbrush and now pastel.

She enjoys painting a wide variety of wildlife subjects. However, wild, candid and or posed, equine subjects are the ones that hold a special meaning in her heart and they have been a reoccurring theme in her art since childhood.

Through her depictions of the natural beauty found around us, Lynette hopes to inspire the world.

She is currently a member of AGRA (Australian Guild of Realist Artists), WASA (Wildlife Artist Society Australasia), IA (Illustrators Australia), YRPS (Yarra Ranges Photographic Society) & PSVA (Pastel Society of Victoria, Australia Inc).

Demonstration – The demonstration this month will be given by Antoinette Blyth. She will demonstrate a diversity of watercolour techniques, with a focus on flowers.

 

Antoinette holds a Bachelor of Education specializing in art, photography and performing arts. Watercolour has always been the medium that has fascinated her. Although she began her painting life in oils, it was always her desire to paint in watercolour.
In October 2005, Antoinette had her first solo Exhibition in watercolour, at Very Special Kids Gallery in Malvern Victoria. Since then, she has won many awards and her works are in collections around Australia and overseas.
As well as the passion for using water and colour to form the magic associated with this medium, Antoinette seeks to convey the emotion and love of what she is painting to the viewer, hence her florals, as she loves her garden and finds tranquility and space working there.

This demonstration is a must for those wanting to improve their watercolour techniques.
