THE Gypsy Art Group winter exhibition opens at the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden on Monday 14 July.
Open daily between 10am and 3pm until the 18th, the artists will be on hand to discuss their individual art making journeys and the techniques they use, and they can answer any questions about the Gypsy Art Group.
Donna Baldwin will be in attendance on Monday to discuss her watercolours.
“I find watercolour has a unique blend of artistry and science,” she said.
“When I get both right, I end up with unique textures and gradients that no other medium offers.
“The soft, translucent layers can evoke mood and atmosphere beautifully,
“Mastering watercolour, something I’m still working toward, offers an appealing challenge.”
Monique Buchbach will show her varied book making techniques on Wednesday and on Thursday, Kerrie Stewart will show an ecoprint reveal and explain the processes involved in flame treated wire sculpture.
Ms Stewart said, “If you have ever wondered about Gelli printing, indigo dyeing, zentangles, felting, photo transfer and expressive painting techniques, come along to view the artwork and meet the artists.
The cool, sunny winter days are a perfect time to enjoy a stroll in the gardens, grab a coffee and view the artwork on show.”
The Group welcomes new members and meets fortnightly on Thursdays from 9am,-1pm at the Boambee Community Centre.
