An opportunity to spend a day with a highly respected contemporary artist and lecturer so as to be guided through the same process that she uses to create her paintings. This workshop is designed to give access to the techniques Saffron Newey uses in her practice. Having exhibited both in Australia and internationally for over 25 years and working predominantly in the fields of painting and drawing, Saffron has been a finalist in multiple painting prizes, including the John Leslie Art Prize and the Paddington Art Prize. Saffron also holds a Ph.D in Fine Art at RMIT, where she now lectures in the painting program. Saffron is represented by Jan Manton Gallery.
This workshop offers a unique blend of demonstration and hands-on practice, providing a dynamic learning experience. Located in MAC’s Union St, Armadale studio, the studio-based art class for adults welcomes participants to this beautiful space for a one off unique experience with this artist.
Some experience in drawing and/or painting recommended. For our introductory courses in painting please follow this link.
Materials are supplied. Students will receive complementary specialised brushes to take with them, for the techniques they will be shown.
