Bay of Fires Seascapes Art Retreat with John Gibb, Tasmania

In this workshop you will produce a painting from start to finish using ideas gleaned from your own digital images of Binnalong Bay, Bay of Fires coastline. So the theme is coastal, with an emphasis on water and rocks.
It is an intensive, yet relaxed, workshop that uses the eco-friendlier medium of acrylic paint. Each participant is taken through the various stages of producing a seascape painting. This involves canvas preparation, composition and perspective principles as well as the many techniques of application.
