Gillian Banks OAM Contemporary Art Classes commencing Wednesday 5 February 2025

An extension from the Contemporary Art Classes held by Gillian Banks during 2023 and 2024, these sessions will further develop your considerable creative imagination and existing building knowledge of art. Gillian will help you to build upon your unique talents and make a distinct move away from traditional and copied styles. Instead, create your own unique style.

• These contemporary art sessions will cover the many facets of Modern Art and Abstract Art using acrylic paint on stretched canvas.
• The emphasis will be on quick broad brush or knife strokes and a variety of thick to watery paint applications.
• Colour is very important to Contemporary Art and so are visible brush/knife strokes. Also important is a masterful handling of paint and a masterful handling of design and placement on the canvas.
• We will aim for a canvas a week, and on the fifth week a catch up and evaluation day.
• Master the technique of quick paint application, resulting in fresh, not laboured work.
