Join artist, Natasha Ruschka, for a fun and creative two days learning the secrets to painting loose and colourful floral still lifes! Natasha will demonstrate a repeatable painting process that will help your painting practice and your development as an artist. This workshop is suitable for all levels from beginners looking for a place to start to more established artists who want to learn how to loosen up their style.
You will learn colour essentials, simplifying with value and expressive brushwork through a repeatable process for alla prima painting.
Natasha will demonstrate all stages and students will have an opportunity to work on some quick exercises as well as paint their own finished piece. Natasha encourages a fun and relaxed environment for learning at every level where all art styles and skill levels are welcome.

Natasha is a colourful oil painter in based in Canberra. Light filled scenes are the inspiration for most of her pieces as she likes to recreate its atmospheric effects in her paintings of still life, flowers, and landscapes. Her art is centred around painting as a practice from life and photographs, regularly painting plein air as well as setting up studio compositions.
Her other passion is teaching where she loves to help students develop their own creative expression and overcome the fear that is often a hurdle in taking the first step into a new creative passion.
She is a regular finalist in state and national competitions with national and international collectors.
