Lyn Mellady - Master Pastelist and Julie Goldspink - Eminent Water-colourist are both gifted artists willing to share their knowledge gained in a successful and fulfilling lifelong art journey..
At Paint Down Under both Lyn and Julie know that it is the practical learning from many years of painting prizewinning paintings, and teaching art students that make their teaching and demonstrations so useful to upcoming artists.
Their DVDs that demonstrate the whole painting process from composing their subject and the decision processes that separate the painting from simply a copy of their photographic reference. They allow you to see the whole picture:- thought, subject, drawing, colour choice and the application process chosen by the artist as it is applied to a specific painting.
Their DVD no.1 shows clearly that different mediums and different artists don't produce a carbon copy of a subject, even if they both use the same reference material gathered on a day out together on the Mornington Peninsula. This is the cornerstone of their series. Watching the two artists in their respective mediums we learn the basic path as well as the everpresent artists choice. Watch and work with the artists decisions as they paint. (see image at top of page)
