THE LAST BLOOMS BRISBANE WORKSHOP FOR THE MOMENT!</h2>
If you have been umming and ahhing about coming to my Brisbane Blooms Workshop, if you miss the boat on this one you could miss out for some time because I’ll be teaching Blooms for the very last time at Metro Arts Brisbane, at 109 Edwards Street commencing evening Dec 10 then all day Dec 11 and 12.<h3 style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.5; overflow: hidden;">
The building has been sold and Metro Arts will relocate in Brisbane. I am not sure of the exact when and where of the new space. For now.</h3>

Do I ever get to paint for myself is a question I am frequently asked. The answer is yes of course! I have completed several commissions and am working on a project to be revealed in London in 2020. I am taking a glorious break in my studio over Christmas and most of January apart from Blooms Sydney in January to work on my own paintings and catch up with friends and family and being at home.</h3>

<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">During his lifetime (B. Valencia, Spain 1863-1923) Sorolla mastered portrait and landscape painting. He developed a fluid style and achieved recognition in Spain, and made it into collections internationally including major museums. </span></div>

The stimulation of learning something new and engaging also aids our memory. If we continue to repeat what we already know and not reach for the new then our brains will not be as healthy . </div>

As a painting teacher and mentor I encounter lots of students who put their creativity on hold while they raise their families, and stay in jobs they don't love. When they connect with painting and are shown they can do it, which I do with my Blooms Painting Method the transformation and empowerment of my students is amazing . </div>

<b>Jo White</b> of Moree has a very good day job but was looking for something more when I met her last November for the Brisbane Blooms Painting Workshop.

Whether you would like to learn to paint and have art as a pleasurable accompaniment to your life or if you prefer to make it your main course, painting is a proven positive activity that will help keep your brain healthy. It's also relaxing to do. the following are some typical student examples of paintings created at the Blooms Workshops. Students can use what they learn as a springboard into other painting styles and subject matter.</div>

<div style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">French Art School is a new concept of engaging in art and touring
for creative inspiration and fun inspired by French and European artists and
beautiful locations. The last tour of Paris and the Creuse region of France
earlier this year, was a great success. Numbers of guests are limited to 8 so
we can stay in unique places.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">French Art School Tours are
distinctive because they allow you to live like a local in distinctive charming
accommodation where you can also paint and express yourself creatively with
Jacqueline showing you easy and productive techniques, inspired mainly by French artists and artists native to the countries we visit. You will create a
minimum of 10 artworks on your tour and have plenty of inspiration to continue
to build your body of work when you get home.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">There are daily classes where possible on tour and prior to your
trip you get a value added bonus of an e-course specific to this tour and its
inspirations so you are warmed up to what we will be doing before you even leave
home. You will be able to refer to these useful notes and art tips long after
the tour finishes. You can even start your paintings before you leave home.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Your tour leader and art tutor, global art teacher and mentor Jacqueline
Coates, a practising artist of 28 years, and a well-seasoned travelling artist
with a home and studio in France as well as the Barossa Valley, understands the
practicalities of painting and travelling with a limited luggage allowance. She
supplies all the art materials and has several techniques to help you capture

If you've ever been taken to a rug merchant by a guide as part of your itinerary, you will most likely be taken to an Aladdin's cave, shown wonderful hospitality, given Moroccan mint tea and feted like royalty, as you are shown dazzling carpet after carpet, and offered amazing prices. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This can be an exotic and unforgettable experience. Before you know it you’ve agreed to buy a rug for $1500 to $2000 and gained a free education about the rug types. .</div>
<div>
<br />Whilst this is great fun and there are rugs of awesome quality and heritage, consider that you are a captive audience in a controlled environment with few options on the lower end of the price spectrum.</div>
<div>
<br />On a tour there is the pressure that you will never go back through that area again, and you have a limited amount of time to make up your mind as the bus leaves in twenty minutes. It’s an ideal seller’s opportunity!</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br />Tour operators or guide or both will be given a commission or a rug based on how many sales take place and you will have paid top dollar including this commission for the touts.</div>
<div>
<br />I watched such an event unfold on a tour I was engaged in on my first trip to Morocco, and bought a lovely rug in these circumstances in the heat of the moment with rug after beautiful rug unfurling before my eyes. I never regretted the rug purchase because it was distinctive and beautiful but I didn’t know what else was on offer elsewhere.</div>
<div>
<br />However, at the next major stop, Marrakesh, I still went looking for more rugs because I was after a rag rug, a type of carpet made from recycled fabrics, and made by hand. This lead me to a rug merchant in the souks. He asked was I with a guide? I said no. He said he could offer me discount prices but not if I bought a guide back with me. The prices would have to be different if I was with a guide.</div>
<div>
<br />The rug merchant and his helpers then hauled hundreds of these incredible and colourful rugs out from the lower level of the shop. I ended up buying exquisite rag rugs for only $60-80 each. Then some of the other travellers decided to get some too, and we arranged shipping to Australia as a group as it was cheaper. For a fraction of the price of the first rug I had ten rugs! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And what’s more they all arrived in Australia as promised. I had to meet the rugs at customs in Australia and watch while a big burly Aussie security guy checked them over. ‘Hope you don’t have any drugs in here as otherwise you go straight to jail’. I held my breathe but it was all fine! It took me a day of signing forms, paying duty, and showing receipts on behalf of the group. But we were all thrilled with our purchases and the prices and had incredible purchases for a fraction of the retail price in Australia.</div>

<div>
<br />My experience was that Moroccans are honest and easy going people, but they have time honored ways of doing business different to ours. Its normal that a guide will want to make a buck out of the tourist or visitor. Everyone is crossing everyone’s palms with tips and commissions. Tour guides on reputable tours are looking to make extra cash and its considered a valid form of supplementary income. It’s the norm. So just go with it.</div>
<div>
<br />Even in this situation when I bought my friends back to look at the rugs the merchant took me aside and said I would get commission or extra rugs but he needed to know before he told my friends the prices. I declined, explaining I would prefer their best prices for me and my friends and wasn’t interested in taking commission and making money from my friends. He did some excellent deals as we bought so many between us. These same types of rugs were selling in Australia for upwards of $800 and being featured in major interior design magazines.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CH0C8EO8cIs/V54Qph1d9fI/AAAAAAAAB9A/TTP0ojrufgINUiq13ju8s4zseIykhSqpgCEw/s1600/Rugs%2BMorocco%2B%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CH0C8EO8cIs/V54Qph1d9fI/AAAAAAAAB9A/TTP0ojrufgINUiq13ju8s4zseIykhSqpgCEw/s640/Rugs%2BMorocco%2B%25282%2529.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div>
<br />There are beautiful rugs everywhere in Morocco. Bear in mind you need to get them home. If you plan to buy a rug, try to travel light. Or throw out some t<span style="text-align: center;">hings at the end of the trip to make room! They do pack up to be smaller than you think. Use your carry-on luggage space. Or get it sent to you.</span><br /></div>
<div>
<br />Whether you shop with a guide or make your own choices, it’s all good fun. Enjoy the process!</div>

oils I usually paint from life which creates immediacy, action and the thrill of the materials coming together on the canvas. It's an experience that leaves me exhilarated.

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Chelsea
Flower Show is one of the world’s best treats on offer if you love gardens and
flowers. This was my second visit ever, the last time being on my Arts and
garden Tour to London, Paris, Florence and Rome about seven years ago memories
of which still inspire me today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

round I travelled independently to my own schedule. I pre-purchased two tickets

print out and was given our tickets. Easy! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">All our
flight and hotels were booked by Karen Caba who is an Aussie working from
Chicago. Karen’s business is ECM Travel Management and the beauty of having
Karen book your tickets is once again it can be done from the lap top in the
evening due to the time difference. We booked everything just few weeks before
we left. Everything was great. Thanks Karen.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

no hassling mum! Actually she was a very patient angel even taking up a second

us. She was delighted to find new

gardens winner was the Chatsworth garden entry drawing on the heritage of the
original Paxton garden design from the 19<sup>th</sup> century at the
Chatsworth estate where employed gardener William Paxton created dramatic landscape
features with boulders, garden streams ,
bridges and the cultivated wild garden. The entry was very natural in effect as
though it had been there for years. Later
in my trip I had the pleasure of visiting the actual gardens at Chatsworth where I was
quite inspired by the drama of the created rocky landscape reminiscent of a
pastoral Italian landscape paintings. More on Chatsworth later.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Chelsea FS Lily and I noticed and enjoyed the popularity and presence of the
cultivated wild garden. It was all the rage. Pretty long grass varieties mixed
with poppies and irises, snow drops and buttercups bordered by gravel or aged
paths. It cropped up in various guises
throughout the show. I might try that at home!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In the
Flower pavilion, I had my nose to the trough so to speak taking pictures of all
manner of blooms from Day lily displays to French irises, sumptuous David
Austin roses and charming varieties of roses including the Persian Princess
with it’s captivating central detail at Harkness roses. There was every hue of
the rainbow of chrysanthemums and, gladioli. Clematis, succulents and hyacinths
had their own stands. The tulip stands were a knockout. My students in the
Brisbane Blooms Painting Workshop have benefitted from my gorgeous photo
reference already. It was too early for peonies.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I could
almost have eaten the display at the Carribbean tropical stand so lush in
colour and fecundity including ravishing arrangements of nutmeg, Birds of
Paradise in colours I have never seen before, and pretty orchids. The chap at
the stand looked good enough to eat also.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Then we came
across the strawberry stand. I have heard Poms in Australia moaning that the
Aussie strawberries aren’t a patch in British strawberries. When I was offered a sample of tray of luscious
specimens, I bit into heaven. I can now agree wholeheartedly and I apologise
for all those time I thought the Poms were, well,… whinging. The aroma, the
soft sweet flavour, the strawberriness of it all. Lily and I were swooning,
the taste was that good.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Eventually
we made our way out of the Flower Pavilion with plenty of time to view the
creative and sculptural stands. I was delighted to discover Willie Wildlife
Sculpture from Ocean Grove Victoria had his own stand with his stunning bronze
bird baths and a featured giant turtle sculpture. Will and I once shared a
stand at the Affordable art show in Melbourne. I took the wall space and he had
the floor for the sculptures. It was a blast to see him at Chelsea.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This was
Will’s 8<sup>th</sup> visit to the Chelsea, with partner and baby in tow. It’s
a massive undertaking but how wonderful to share your product to a truly
international crowd. Needless to say I dashed to the Pimm's tent and got them
both a refreshing English drink on me to celebrate. It’s great that his
beautifully crafted bird baths can now be found in gardens throughout the UK. It
definitely takes some nerve and dedication to spread the word internationally. Reverse
colonisation!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">By about 4pm, Lily and I had done our dash. We left with SD cards and iphones chockful of beautiful images, and our heads full of scent and colour, and inimitable English beauty.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Later we legged it the the Flamingo Bar , owned by Richard Branson which has actual flamingos in the garden about five floors up. We watched the sun down go down over London over cocktails. The perfect end to a beautiful day of gardens and flowers.</span><br />

Balanzone. ‘Il Dottore’ is the good
friend of Harlequin, Colombine, Pulcinella and other famous characters of the
Commedia dell’ Arte. He rubs shoulders with the Carnival characters too. He loves his food, loves to talk, and loves
his Venezia. Who better to show you the back streets behind the Rialto Bridge
and let you in on the gossip, old and new? Join him for an aperitif as you
watch the gondolas go by on the Grand Canal. Evening at leisure. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">I</span>n an old glass workshop nearby, Gianni
Moretti a descendant of the original Ercole, can honestly say “there are only a
few craft industries still working in Venezia a century after their foundation”
because he and his extended family are doing just that. Their expertise is with the ‘perline’, the
beads, and exquisite plates. Fortunately for us the family has thrown nothing
away so we are able to see more than a 100 years of lovely glass pieces, tools and work techniques plus
the proud pictorial history of the glass-workers as well as learning how it’s
done today. To complete our picture of Venetian glass we’ll go to Gianni’s
next-door neighbour Massimo Furlan where the glass is ‘blown’. The blower may show you his arms “when you
get your first burn you begin to be a blower…”</div>

Plus the chance to wander, to just watch and enjoy the canals and lagoon
views. The vaporetto links you to colourful Burano, a small island of
lace-makers and fishermen which is well worth a visit. It has a lovely Lace
Museum, il Museo del Merletto, closed on Mondays but should this be your
special interest it’s easy to return on your free day, Thursday, with your

Renaissance artists: Bellini, Carpaccio, Giorgione, Veronese, Tintorello,
Tiziano, Tiepolo… And the 1700s works of
Canaletto, Guardi, Longhi and others. A
celebration of art. As a matter of
interest the Accademia is situated in the Dorsoduro district: to the right is
the lovely area towards il Campo Santa Margherita, full of interesting shops,
calle and bridges, and bordering on the San Polo district, an area of antique
sellers; behind are the calle leading to the Giudecca Canal which offers a
relaxing stroll and some good restaurants. Along one of the calle is the last
remaining workshop where the Venetian gondola is crafted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

lesson, we stroll to the nearby Ca’ Rezzonico, one of the most splendid Baroque
palaces on the Grand Canal. It was begun
in the mid 1600s by Baldassare Longhena for the Bon family but was so costly
that it wasn’t until the mid 1700s that the Rezzonico family completed the
palazzo and decorated it in grand style.
It became their ‘party house’ when all of Venice was famous for parties.
For a brief time in the late 1800s the poet Robert Browning lived there, loving
its comfort and splendour. Since the early 1900s Ca’ Rezzonico has been a
gallery museum, housing the best of 18th century Venice and the Veneto: rich in grand rooms, furnishings and works of
art. We’ll visit this palazzo with a guide who can encompass its story and the

<span lang="EN-US">This morning we join a small group tour “Private
Secret Gardens of Venice Walking Tours - explore some of the hidden gardens of
the city and learn the history that brought the locals to build gardens in such
a difficult environment. Gardens in Venice come as a surprise and although many
palaces own their own small private gardens, your impression while walking
around Venice is that it is a city of stone. Gardens played an important role …
and these aspects will be discussed during the tour… three gardens, two
belonging to convents and one belonging to a secluded palace…” (Avventure
Bellissime)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">But the tradition of the ‘Villa Veneta’, the
country manor of rich Venetian nobles and merchants, began in the 1500s. The
outstanding architect of this period was Andrea Palladio whose work satisfied
the classical ideals of the noble families while allowing for the
practicalities of a producing farm.
Travelling north from Treviso we’ll visit one of the most beautiful
Palladio villas, Villa Barbaro, named for its founder Daniele Barbaro but more
commonly called Villa Maser as it’s on the outskirts of the village of Maser. Of unusual interest is that the Villa is still
inhabited by descendents of the original founders and the surrounding property
still farmed – the wines, including a Prosecco, and the olive oil are
excellent. The main part of the villa is
open to us as are the original gardens which are an on-going work of
restoration. The old Carriage Shed, with
its carts and coaches, is also included in the visit. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

lunch which includes a tasting of the villa’s wines and the story of their
production. After lunch we go to the
small town of Asolo, known as the ‘city of a hundred horizons’, due to its
setting among the mountains. The town is also famous for its antique
shops. You’ll have time at leisure to
explore before we set out for Verona, our home for the next three nights. We’ll
be staying in an area called the ‘Veronetta’, a short walk across the river
Adige and the busy ‘tourist’ centre of town. There’s the University nearby, the green hills
behind and lots of charming coffee shops and places to eat. It’s a pleasant, lively, ‘local’ place. After
we settle into our accommodation we meet for an aperitif in a special little
bar/restaurant, the Café Carducci. Your
evening is at leisure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">This morning we
meet our local guide for a two hour walking tour of Verona, one of Italy’s most
alluring cities, circled by the river Adige whose waters are fast running and
richly green, crossed by fine bridges one of them Roman. The Romans came in 89
B.C. and our tour includes many of their remains such as the Ampitheatre which
is still in use today for major concerts and shows. Verona’s position on the river made it the
crossroads between Venice, Genoa and the Brenner Pass bringing the influence of
other cultures still present today. There
is of course the story of Romeo and Juliet… our tour includes them as
well. The City Tour will also give you a
‘feel’ for the town: its elegant shops, its antiques, its galleries and
extraordinary churches such as San Zeno and Sant’ Anastasia which has an
unusual ceiling frescoed with stylized plants and flowers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">We travel to the
charming town of Como which nestles in a green hollow at the end of the western
branch of the lake that bears its name. Como was established by the ancient
Romans and is still surrounded by its Medieval walls which protect the
magnificent cathedral, famous churches and delightful garden villas. Since the
1500s Como has been the capital of the most precious of fabrics, Silk, and is
reputed to be one of the best place for fashion shopping outside Milan. The lake itself, often known by its old name
of ‘Lario’, lies in a dreamlike landscape of soft hills, rugged mountains and
still waters which have enthralled travelers since pre-historic times.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">This afternoon
we take the fast ferry from Como to Tremezzo and walk along the lake shores to
the fabled Villa Carlotta, created in the 1600s in a natural basin between the
mountains and the water. In the 1800s
the villa became a ‘must’ for travelers doing the European Grand Tour, housing
works by Canova, Thorvaldsen and Hayez.
Later in that century Princess Marianne of Nassau bought the villa as a gift
to her daughter Carlotta on her marriage to Georg of Saxe-Meiningen who was
passionate about botany and who improved an already beautiful park/garden. Today we can visit the villa itself and the
extensive surrounds: the Italian Garden and Citrus Arbor, the Garden of Ferns,
the Camelia Garden, the Azaleas, the Rhododendron Wood, the Bamboo Garden, the
Rock Garden. Prepare to walk, to sit, to
admire.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">This morning we
cross the waters again to the magic town of Bellagio, set on the end of a
promontory between the western and eastern branches of the lake. For centuries
Bellagio has simply been called ‘the Pearl of lario’: its beauty persuaded the Roman writer Pliny
the Younger to build his summer villa there and the rich and famous have
followed suit. We visit the elegant neo-classic Villa Melzi, set in
English-style gardens which follow the lake shore. The villa and gardens were
created in the early 1800s for Franceso Melzi, Duke of Lodi, who wanted a villa
that was sober and elegant which would not overwhelm the lovely surrounding
lake and countryside. The park/garden is rich in rare and exotic plants.
Because of the beauty of this place and the lakeside village of Bellagio you
will want time at leisure to explore, to shop and enjoy fine local food.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

wonderful workshop and how we are all still on a 'high'. Most of us have
done another painting or are finishing one. It was very inspiring being
with you for a week. I had an amazing experience the other morning, light
was just coming into my bedroom and my damask curtains just showed all
the tonal shades, I have never noticed that before. You did tell us we
would see things differently now! I knew exactly how i would paint it -
in fact it would be a good exercise for me to do. thank you for teaching
me another way to look at things. Hope all is well with you. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I would love you to use my work . <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I jumped in the deep end with no previous
experience when I did blooms<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>1 and 2 in January
2011. I came out with two amazing paintings and a structure of how to paint at
home without the support of the workshop.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">January Blooms 1 & 2, 2012 <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Melbourne was my second time in a blooms
workshop . Both workshops had a great bunch of people with the same
interest , painting and painting<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>flowers
. It was really good the 2nd time because I had an idea what to expect . My
paintings happened more quickly and I realised how much I had learned. I also
learned and was inspired from seeing all the other paintings in the class
evolve with the steps you gave us nad the individual attention. You are a very
generous teacher.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> It is just amazing how you can come out with 2
beautiful paintings after one week of classes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The St James Church Hall is a fantastic venue .<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I look at my peony and the hydrangeas that are hanging in my
lounge room and I think to myself “I can’t believe that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I</i></b> painted them”. But I
did with Jacqueline’s instruction and guidance as well as a lot of positive
encouragement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I didn’t have any painting experience but I had an interest
and the Blooms 1&2 courses honed my interest and taught me skills and
techniques that have enabled me to continue painting with confidence. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It was a great week in fact quite an indulgent week focusing
only on myself and my painting with the company of the group all striving to
learn new skills under the nurturing guidance of Jacqueline. I thank Jac for
giving me the wherewithal to be able to shut out the world for a while and
paint.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

paint and the brushes, managing the consistency of paint so you are in control,
working first tonally then in colour. In this way we work with one main
challenge at a time and build on that. We always start with exquisite floral
reference that I supply and there is a wide choice. It’s exciting to see
everyone’s paintings coming on, and then suddenly pop through as beautiful
blooms, especially after the third day. I consider it an honour and a privilege
to teach. I enjoy showing m</span>Jacqueline Coates Blooms Onlinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03141666836410093862noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2674864948637631489.post-23494386436230321742012-06-08T07:53:00.001-07:002012-06-08T08:01:44.247-07:00<br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Well I can’t be everywhere as i
have two children and there are so many women hungry for a great painting
experience and it seems my blooms painting workshops fit the bill and are a
great access for time poor people and have a wide appeal. I have also noticed
that many of my students are hungry to take things further and really go the
whole hog with their painting. A good teacher doesn’t limit her students, she
wants to see them achieve mastery in all aspects. That would be me. I want to see
full empowerment of my students. Then I know I have really loved them to the
full with my teaching and they can do anything. I get such a lot of
satisfaction with seeing my students create great results, I share in their
joy, and love seeing them exceed their own expectations. They get to feel
great. I have also made some wonderful friends with the women I have got to
know with this process and of course I want to give even more to those I feel
have the heart and the passion for it. The rewards are great in every respect.
And it s a great excuse for us to connect creativity and have the pathway paid
for and supporting you to do so.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 24pt;">How will I fit in doing the
course?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 36.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; tab-stops: dotted 254.65pt 510.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We all lead busy lives these
days. I have designed the course so that the paintings you do are not huge
scale and therefore not time consuming for the most part. Your average time you
will need is a half day on the weekend as two sessions of four to five hours
per fortnight will create a painting. In one year you will create at least 26
paintings which have a specific learning. It’s not so painting massive volumes
it’s about painting to cover material I need you to know, so working smart.
Plus you will paint when you are in a workshop with me for a week and create paintings
in an accelerated workshop environment in addition to this. If you want to
paint more then there are optional extras you can take on. Every painting I ask
you to do is a foundation and stepping stone for learning which will also arm
you with knowledge for teaching. Each painting choice is designed to cover off
a skill you will need. You can see there is a fair bit of flexibility here with
regards to where and how you do your course work. You will email the home work or paintings to
me. Easy.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 36.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; tab-stops: dotted 254.65pt 510.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Painting regularly will also
speed up your skills. You may find you do better to give yourself a full day a
fortnight, or work for two days a month. How you organise the time is up to
you. Once you get your studio space set up at home which could be in a study, the garage, a corner of the living
room or the kitchen or the bedroom, then you have a place that you are used to going
to add to your skills and your
collection. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">You will also have some reading
to do to expand your awareness from time to time where I will ask you to seek
out certain information from the library and get you to answer some questions.
It’s important to have an informed point of view and know more than your
students or clients and I will guide you to do that.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 36.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; tab-stops: dotted 254.65pt 510.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">And finally, as an important part
of the course is about building your business model, I will be asking you to
perform tasks along the way that are easy and satisfying to do and are
constantly building your framework ready for when you want to sell your
paintings or begin to teach. Like the painting allocation of time, I will be
dividing this up so you have a task at a time. Often this business work can be
done fairly quickly at the computer so can be done in a lunch hour or off your
ipad or iphone in a spare moment. You will have the month to perform your
monthly set of tasks, and will be given
the content of this along with the painting assignments at the start of the
month so you can plan how you would like to do it and in what order. If you go
on holiday you can plan for that by getting it done before or playing catch ups
afterwards. I once worked in a different job to painting and understand it
needs to fit around everything else.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">a group of lucky women congregated at Avril Hallow's<br />
spacious and lovely flower studio, Viva The Flower Store in Angaston to celebrate the Peony season.<br />
Avril demonstrated how to make a florist's 'ball' from copper beech,<br />
camellia and Malacca leaves into which we inserted our choice of exquisite peony blooms.<br />
A divine low cut glass vase was included and the trick was to get your bunch to look full and comfortable in the vase.<br />
I was a late arrival to the workshop as came dashing in after the Blooms Painting workshop had finished at my gallery, Salon Rouge Gallery in Kapunda. My own students had done a great job of their paintings but I didn't want to leave until their paintings had been completed to our satisfaction. So it was a thrill that it turned out I could make it to the peony workshop as student myself.<br />
I hadn't missed too much and thankfully Avril gave me a helping hand to get my leaf ball started. There was still an enviable selection of peonies to choose from. I think I ended up with about ten peonies in my generous bunch. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I chose the classic pale pink with crimson stripes and a couple of dark pink blooms.<br />
Once we had all learned to make our own peony bunches, fit for any wedding table or simply the perfect touch for home, we were then treated to a delicious and most elegant high tea, accompanied by Sorby Adams bubbles.<br />
It really is a tough life for some, isn't it? For myself it was a wonderful treat after a painting intensive at the gallery for the week. I was delighted to take daughter Lily along too to learn some old fashioned floral arts though I noticed her attention was on the vanilla cupcakes more than the flowers!<br />
After sampling a selection that included<br />
white bean and tomato tarts, the best chicken sandwich fingers I have ever tasted, strawberry sponge cake, vanilla and chocolate cupcakes, citron tartlettes, it was time to plan a new day to start the Dukan diet! And take in a spot of shopping from the wonderful array of gifts including rich and fragrant hand creams and Christmas decorations that Avril stocks.<br />
I found so much inspiration in the arrangements that I was madly snapping pictures with the iphone ready for my Sydney and Melbourne painting workshops. Some divine blooms that were just begging to be painted.<br />
And then it was all over, and we drove back to Kapunda with our flowers, some cakes a</span><span style="font-size: large;">nd a Christmas wreath for the gallery door, with the fresh aroma of peonies accompanying us all the way.<br />
Here are some peonies that I have painted recently.<br />
