> Tutor Rhyl Henzell, who has guided Coochie Art Group through a series of 4 exciting and informative classes this term, displayed her magnificent finished demonstration painting yesterday. We have thoroughly enjoyed her innovative techniques, with hot glue gun stencils, stamping, stencilling and many other techniques to assist building texture and design strength. Her finished painting has benefited hugely from Rhyl’s strong critique skills, which have helped the Group so much in our own work. Thank you Rhyl from us all!

Rhyl Henzell has devised an exciting program of tuition in Acrylics and FreeFlow using various innovative ( and how!!) texturing techniques over 4 classes in Term 2 for Coochie Art Group. Rhyl will also demonstrate how to create, rather than copy, using our photographs, negative and positive spaces and many other valuable insights. Should be terrific – tar gel?, hot glue guns! Wow!

Maria Field will be Tutoring Coochie Art Group for a 2Day Acrylic Workshop on Coochiemudlo on Wednesday and Thursday, 13 & 14th June 2018. Maria has sent through her program as follows. Sounds wonderful!

“Regarding plan of workshop: I will be demoing acrylic florals as requested. However, on day one I will also be covering Design/Composition and Pre-planning. People can bring their own floral images, or use mine, or they can bring other subjects that they would prefer to paint. They may also bring in any projects that they have done, are working on, or are stuck on! I am happy to guide them in whatever way they need. I have found that what most people need are help with Design, Tone, and other ideas for creativity. So,
On day two, I will be continuing on in the same vein, however, also adding in How to Critique their own paintings.
I will also throw in other ideas/styles that they might like to try with their acrylic paintings.

Regarding the Materials List: Since you have informed me that most are not beginners, then they can all just bring their usual acrylic materials and supports that they prefer. I won’t be getting people to go out and buy anything new or that they may never use again!
For the beginners, if they don’t know…..bring acrylic paints in primary colours (red, yellow, blue) secondary if they want (green, orange, purple) and definitely a white.
brushes suitable for acrylics, a palette, supports (canvas), rags, towel to cover work area, protective gear for their clothes, something to hold water. Images that they want to paint also.”
