Coochie Art Group is looking forward to Acrylic classes in Term 4 with talented, local, prize-winning artist, Hilary Wakeling. Hilary has sent through some images to illustrate some of the techniques we’ll be learning. Materials List to follow.

Other materials particular to each exercise –

Masking tape, greaseproof paper or other paper for tearing, roller and tray.

November 12 – Painting the negative space:
