Botanical Painting - with an Impressionistic Approach
Mondays, 1.00 pm-3. 00pm 15 Jul - 16 Sep $150 payable at the beginning of term Learn to capture nature in living colour with award winning artist Antoinette Blyth. Antoinette will introduce learners to the techniques artists use to draw and paint plants from nature. Classes will explore concepts such as the importance of observation with regard to the plant, replicating that information with our drawing, interpreting the colours we see in the plant by the skill of mixing colours on palette and on paper and understanding the technique of applying colour to retain the delicacy and texture of the plant. From here the class moves on to view the subject in a more impressionistic manner and Antoinette may introduce subjects such as landscapes, seascapes and other subjects as the class desires. |

Celtic Jam - Social Music
Wednesday nights 6.30 - 7.30pm Introductory workshop 7.30 - 9.00pm Jam Session $4 per session A celtic jam session is an informal get-together to socialise and share music with others, crossing all social and demographic boundaries. No sheet music or music stands needed, musicians simply come together and learn tunes from each other. It’s a popular custom that has stood the test of time. Celtic Jam continues this tradition. We’re a diverse group of instrumentalists who meet each Wednesday night to play and share tunes we love, at a not-too-fast speed! Ear learning is encouraged, but we also provide sheet music. We also play regular gigs. We’d love to see you there! The introductory workshop allows participants to learn a tune by ear slowly, and play through other tunes from our repertoire slowly (with or without music), especially for those who are new to celtic music, to ear-learning, or to playing an instrument.
