Artists Palette - October 2014

INSIGHTS
* Glenda Cornell - The journey of an artwork isn’t in the finished work; it is in the process and pleasure one receives along the way.
* Katherine Appleby - After teaching for several years, this artist had an overwhelming urge to paint and create, and has now carved a fulfilling career as an in-demand artist.
* Kathleen Davies - Think outside what is considered normal, be a little bit eccentric, look at things with an artistic eye, and practice your craft; all of these are words of advice from this gifted artist.
* William Bryne - A heart-warming story of a man who now has the time to devote to his sketching.
* Irene Vides - It is vital for this artist to feel a painting, as this is what guides her to create her works of art.

DEMONSTRATIONS
* Mixed Media – Murray’s Mill Picola - Using a 20 year old photograph, the artist created a working mill (which is now closed) on the edge of the Barmah Forest in Victoria.
* Acrylics – Rafulakea, 2014 - With an amazing eye for detail, this artist depicts a gorgeous image of a mother possum with her baby.
* Oils – The Majesty of The Outback - The artist has created this demonstration using oils painted on stretched canvas, with the image (Central Australia) taken from her own photographs of travel and work throughout Australia.
* Pencil – The Palm Cockatoo - Using his wife’s suggestion of a palm cockatoo for his demonstration, this artist printed a copy of the bird from a book to match reference points on it.
* Oils – Dancing the Salsa - Starting with a simple charcoal outline, Audrey Hepburn comes alive.
