The Burdekin Art Society recently held its first art workshop of the year with a charcoal drawing class run by visiting Townsville tutor, Carole Howlett. Originally from the UK where she gained a BA (Hons) Degree in Fine Art, Carole has won many awards at the annual Townsville Art Society exhibitions; conducts art classes at the Drill Hall; and regularly exhibits at Jezzine Barracks.
Carole took the attendees of the recent class through an array of exercises using a variety of techniques, including ‘smooching’ and ‘tonking’ with black and white charcoals (sticks and pencils) on white, grey and black paper. It was such a feast of learning with the humble tool of charcoal! All the attendees went away with a sleeve of practice examples for framing as well as some of the materials used.
The Burdekin Art Society’s next workshop is with another Townsville artist, Cath Meharry, using mixed media with watercolour on the 21st of June. Cath’s intricate artworks featuring shells or foliage are regularly on display at the Drill Hall. Information about this workshop can be found on the Burdekin Art Society Facebook page.
In the meantime, people are warmly invited to attend the Society’s weekly ‘Come and Paint’ sessions at the Clubhouse on Tuesday mornings from 9:30am to 12:00pm. Bring along your own paint project and enjoy a relaxed, creative morning in good company.
