“Getting
to know your tools”
“The second workshops will introduce students to
the many tools that are used in producing artworks in Acrylics, Pastels and
Watercolour. A labourer may be prone to
blaming his tools for shoddy workmanship, but the artist loves using the best
quality tool for the job. This workshop
covers the use of brushes, palette knives, Palettes, mixed media odds and ends,
innovative techniques using Cling Wrap, Sponges, twigs and more. Students get to put into practise the tools
they have seen during the workshop.

Abstract
Process
OmiLee
is a Brisbane based contemporary artist, who gravitates towards abstraction and
minimalist styles in her artworks that concentrate on bold colous and textures.
Five years into her career and she has participated in two solo and
fifteen group gallery exhibitions, as well as having displays in restaurant and
retail venues, and attending artists markets through the year. She runs monthly
workshops to teach others what she knows in a fun, social environment.
Her workshops
allow participants with any level or lack of artistic experience to explore
their creative side through abstract, minimalist and expressive techniques,
through guidance and demonstration while producing a personalised artwork in
their own style. They learn basic technical skills like choosing a colour
palette, drafting a simple composition plan and how to use the tools of the
trade, while breaking down a reference photo or creative vision into shapes,
patterns and brush strokes.
