IF YOU’VE ever wanted to learn more about landscape oil painting – then here is your chance.
Prominent landscape oil painter, Kasey Sealey, FRAS, will be conduct two workshops for regional artists at Warwick and Stanthorpe during the last week of March 2015.
Kasey, who is a Fellow of the Royal Art Society, was born at Forbes, NSW, in 1961, and began painting professionally in 1980, with a string of major prizes now to his credit.
He is acknowledged as a very important influence on contemporary impressionistic painting, both in Australia and overseas. His works are reminiscent of earlier Classical Australian painters belonging to the Heidelberg School, such as Arthur Streeton, Tom Roberts and Frederick McCubbin. Kasey’s work explores the effects of light and shade on the Australian landscape.
The focus of his tutorials in the Southern Downs will be on the colours of autumn seen in the region.
The Warwick workshop will be held at the Warwick Art Group premises in Willie Street, from Monday 23 March to Wednesday 25 March.
This will be followed by a two-day workshop on Thursday 26 and Friday 27 at the Queensland College of Wine Tourism in Stanthorpe.
Warwick artist Sue Keong is particularly looking forwards to catching up with Kasey again.
Sue travelled to Tuscany last year to join Kasey in his annual Plein Air Painting School in Italy, describing it as ‘remarkable artistic learning experience’.
Kasey’s visit is being supported by a joint Southern Downs Regional Council and Arts Queensland Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) Grant approved by council in February.
