Get set for a fun action-packed FULL DAY of painting designed to loosen up your brushwork! This workshop is perfect for anyone from beginners with some experience to intermediate painters looking to add some different approaches to their practice. Bring in some of your own photos to work with, or use the ones I supply. We’ll be working quickly to create multiple small studies of different landscapes in the morning, with the afternoon free to apply some of the morning’s ideas to something a little larger of your own choice. I’ll be working with oils, but acrylic painters also welcome.

Session includes a 1 hour break. Please feel free to bring a snack / lunch with you.

Join Lana for an immersive weekend of plein air landscape painting.

Half of each day will be spent working outdoors, with the rest of the day spent back in the studio, further developing your work. (If the weather is against us, we’ll spend the weekend working indoors from photos of the local area).

Lana will talk you through her plein air set up and guide you through the weekend with a variety of exercises and techniques you can use to help interpret the landscape in your own personal way. Suitable for beginners with some experience, to advanced painters looking for some new approaches to their work. Lana will be painting in oils, but acrylic painters welcome.

Join me for a week of landscape painting in beautiful Tassie! The week will be spent working both en plein air and in the studio - offering you plenty of source material and time to explore different directions in your work. The intention of this week is to paint, paint, paint! The combination of painting as much as possible, then reviewing work in the evening, will help you to expand your practice and will encourage you to start making more intuitive decisions about your own work. For part of the day I will be painting alongside you, combined with sessions where I offer more structured exercises you can choose to focus on.

You will be staying in your very own non-sharing room deep in the hills of remote North East Tasmania in a purpose built art space retreat. Amongst the rolling green hills sits a single streetscape untouched by commerce or tourism. Beyond the hills, lies an epic landscape in every direction. The rich orange and turquoise seas of the Bay of Fires, stunningly clear rivers in deep valleys and access to remote painting locations unseen by most visitors. This part of Tasmania will speak to every artist on every level.

The hotel has been lovingly restored and curated by Artable founder Gillian who has brought together a decade of award winning retreat experiences to offer artists their non-sharing rooms at no extra charge, a huge light filled art studio, a comfortable group lounge complete with Chesterfields and fireplace, daily excursions to visit carefully selected landscapes and the very best local Tassie fare available. This retreat is for those of you keen to explore mark making in one of Australia's most powerful natural landscapes.
