Settlers Series - Painting Wildlife on Textured background - Ros Blackburn

Learn new skills and have great fun creating an amazing textured wildlife artwork using acrylics on canvas.

Ros will demonstrate and take you through methods she uses in her fabulous wildlife paintings using acrylics on canvas. You will be shown how to create a rich textured background as an interesting base for your wildlife subject and will then be guided through the process of painting of your chosen subject on the canvas to create a stunning art piece.

Historic Settlers Cottage is located at 180 Pearson Street, Churchlands, is owned by the National Trust and currently used as Art Studios. The setting is idyllic, nestled close to the Herdsman Lake, surrounded by trees and wildlife. The venue for our workshops is in the adjacent Shelter area (outdoor undercover with weather protection) and on the shady verandahs of the cottage. With Covid, this is the perfect way to enjoy art activities.
