]]> Just recently I painted my parent in-laws truck ready for a trip to the outback. I couldn’t have asked for better working conditions being constantly offered cakes, snacks and tea. One of the perks of working for family.

Rod and Glenda spend a lot of time up north in beautiful places like Karajini camp hosting so were keen to have some Western Australian desert animals painted on the sides of their truck. Their favourites are the spectacular looking Desert Perentie and Olive Python.

I learned a lot about the two animals while painting them and looking up different images of them on the internet. They both have beautiful patterns and colours on them especially the Perentie. I can’t wait to visit the desert again and try to spot some (from a distance…they’re a little scary).

Drawing Workshop

The drawing workshop was great. I had some really lovely ladies come and join me on a sunny Saturday afternoon in the beautiful Art Space Collective workshop room. I was so impressed with what the ladies turned out.

We worked on portraiture so everyone brought in a photo to work from and I gave them some tips on how to make the best of their pieces.

I’d definitely run another workshop in the future. I’ve learned so much from this last one about what people struggle with and how to explain techniques better. I’ve been talking to Art Space Collective about it and we’ll probably set up another one at the beginning of next year some time so stayed tuned. I’ll let you all know as soon as we’ve worked out an official date.
