Genesis: A New Direction • Genesis Heat Set Oils have been life changing for this artist … and set her on a new and exciting course.

Natural Design • The Tasmanian landscape inspires this man’s artworks – many of which celebrate design in Nature with (at times) a surreal element.

Still Life with Rocks • This man prefers to work on dark coloured supports with a slight texture (tooth). Smooth surfaces are fine to work on, but they lack the ‘look’ of textured surfaces.

Hours of Practise • While she doesn’t consider herself to be a gifted artist, this lady achieves success through hours upon hours of practise and study … and sometimes through unexpected good fortune.

Rainbow Commotion • When she was invited to do a Demonstration piece, this artist immediately settled on the combination of Rainbow Lorikeets and a colourful rainbow background.

Persistent Urge • Having never lost the urge to paint, this lady has learned from books and developed further through formal training. And she inherited some important artistic skills from her grandmother.

Jack • Fear belongs in the past for this Queensland artist. Previously, when her paintings reached a certain stage she would be frightened to continue … thinking she might ruin what she had already done.

Falls Gallery • Wonderful art galleries are located all over this country, hosting and promoting the work of Australia’s diverse exponents of art. Artist’s Palette magazine showcases a broad selection of these venues. In this Issue, we look at Falls Gallery … located in the beautiful Blue Mountains west of Sydney.

Making a Difference • This artist likes to make a difference in people’s lives … encouraging them to enjoy painting and insisting that they can never be too old to reach their potential.

Reflection • Applying the ‘wet into wet’ watercolour technique for this painting Demonstration, you will need to work fast to get the first layer on before your paint dries.

A Lively Mind • With artistic inspiration seeming to spring from everywhere and anything, this man’s creative mind is lively to any source.

The Whistler • In preparing this Demonstration painting, the artist was mainly interested in achieving an interesting effect … rather than photographic detail.
