Hi Everyone,
Oh My Goodness. What a busy start to the year it has been. In March I travelled to Japan with a group of 8 Artists from the Watercolour Society of W.A. We had been invited to participate in an International Art Exhibition in Kobe. I gave a workshop while there along with the help of a translator which proved to be an interesting and rewarding exercise.
One of the highlights of our trip was a visit to the Holbein Art Factory. We now have more of an appreciation of the cost of a small tube of paint after seeing the rigorous manufacturing process. We were like kids in a Candy Store when we descended upon the Holbein Showroom. If only we didn’t have the restriction of space and weight in our suitcase!
My friend, Cass Gartner and I organized for Herman Pekel, a world famous Watercolour Artist to conduct watercolour workshops in W.A. We had two studio workshops in the city then travelled to the wheatbelt town of Beverley to have three fabulous days of plein air painting. We all had a wonderful time and learnt so much from watching Herman paint.
Cass and I plan to conduct similar workshops annually. Please keep an eye on this space for any information of upcoming events and exhibitions.
This Saturday and Sunday I will be in Fremantle at the Italian Club with some framed and lots of unframed paintings for sale. I would love to see you there. Please introduce yourself if we haven’t already met. See the attached Flyer for details.
Thank you once again for your ongoing support and interest in my Art practice.
Cheers for now
Stephanie Boyle
