Visual Art Workshop – Tips from Tweedie
Last Friday we had the privilege of Mark Tweedie, West Australian visual artist visiting Carramar to run a painting workshop with our year 10 and 11 Visual Art students. Mark Tweedie is a visual artist whose practice explores themes of family, mortality and ageing in a style that focus’ on tone and form using a contrast of soft washes and thick impasto.
The 3 hour workshop helped the students develop the confidence when painting portraits as well as exploring a more challenging style.
