Home from her dry season travels in remote East Arnhem Land, NT, Terry Swann will be giving a demonstration of her watercolour techniques in the gallery on Saturday, 3rd of August. Join us from 10.30am for morning tea and for what will be an entertaining and informative talk from Terry as she talks about her love for the Top End of Australia and shows us just how she paints her glorious watercolours.
“My work is a journey into landscape, an exploration of place. Painting is so much a part of me it’s something I have to do. I paint from the heart and paint from life. I am drawn to Australia’s remote landscapes and feel a genuine connection to the land. I have to go bush, somewhere, anywhere and sit and paint and commune with place. Each winter I travel to a new location to explore what the landscape has to offer and what it will share with me.
Once I have made a study of what I will paint, my process becomes spontaneous and exhilarating. I throw paint on the paper, allowing the colours to blend and merge. If I want line work, I use twigs, sticks, whatever the landscape provides as my tools. It’s about colour, movement and texture.
For me it is the process of painting, not the end result of the work that is exciting”.
If you would like to join us next Saturday to meet Terry Swann; to discover her multi talents, and hear about her latest trip to Arnhem Land please RSVP here.
