Denise’s Sketching Workshop
On 14th February from 10.30 am to 1.30 pm, I am running a sketching workshop.
Venue: Crumbz Craft, 236 Maroondah Highway, Healesville.
Cost: $65.00.
In the first part of this workshop (at Crumbz Craft), I will talk about how you go about getting a drawing started, what to look for, how to simplify what you see.
After that, we will be sketching in the main street of Healesville, stopping here and there to grab a cup of coffee, and finding some interesting subjects to sketch.

Demonstration – The demonstration this month will be given by Bev Hardidge, who will demonstrate working with mixed media.
Bev is a member of Yarra Valley Open Studios and Mount Evelyn and Yarra Valley Arts Society. She describes herself as “… mainly a self taught artist who has completed several short courses. I enjoy trying different styles of painting and experimenting with mediums and textures to create interest. I am inspired by what I observe on our property and surrounding environment. I also enjoy encouraging others to paint.”
This demonstration will be of interest to both beginners and experienced artists wanting to try the many different forms of mixed media techniques.
Entry Fees – Members – $6 Visitors – $7 (First meeting free)
