Art Tuition
Term 1, 2021  
My classes this year will echo last year’s timing and I’m optimistic that Covid will let me have the best of both worlds.
Physical in studio classes will be on a Tuesday starting Feb 2 and Zoom on a Wednesday the following week ie 10th Feb .


Two types of classes to choose from in term 1

a) The Joy of Pastel Painting
This is held in Lyn's studio
- a continuation of the journey of discovery with demonstrations, discussion and personal painting each lesson.
Term 1, 2021   nine weeks:-Tues morning -10am to 12.0pm  (Fully Booked
or Tues afternoon 1pm to 3pm (2 places available-)
Feb 2 to March 30 2021   $180
.............................................................................................................................
b) Water
This is held on line via your computer or Ipad

- 8 weeks workshop dedicated to exploring many aspects of both salt and freshwater landscapes.
Lyn will share a new demonstration each week, discussion, guidance and appraisal of your work.
Each week has a different concept explored.

Water 1
The Wednesday classes  
Water 1 will have lessons on both a) Seashore and b) Inland

Join in as we Zoom into this new painting journey together.
I will set up a testing meeting for any new students so that you can check your connections and
sort out any queries before we start the real lessons
It is essential to enrol and confirm enrolement  by email.
Please note this email is

Once enrolled I will email you a photo of the 1st painting subject and a list of requirements.
I will also send your personal link to join the art class sessions from your ipad or computer.
This is your personal link and confirms your place in the 'art room'.   

To keep this a personal process the lessons will start with an explanation
followed by a step by step demonstrated process.
You will then have time to work privately before the second part of the lesson.
I can work with you on screen individually as you paint similar to a normal studio class.
We will check process together after a break and continue on line.

Class sizes must be small to enable this.  It is different to a lecture webinar!
Students will have access to a private viewing site to view the demonstrations at their leisure.

We start the following lesson with an assessment of what they have done during the week.

We then proceed with the day's lesson which will build on or spring from the previous lesson.

Annual Pre-Summer 3 day workshop
Lyn Mellady(pastel)
Julie Goldspink (watercolour)


    

Mornington Peninsula Annual Pre-Summer School
Fri, Sat, Sun 12-14 Nov 2021
3 day workshop
plein air
and studio located at 77A Barkly St Mornington

Course description
Two art tutors

Level:-  For artists with some degree of proficiency in their medium. (pastel/acrylic/watercolour)
Why venture out into the real world? Is it a venture or adventure?
There are many popular art tours happening all over the world offering to enrich the travel and share the experience of painting together.   
This workshop is for artists who are uncomfortable with the concept of painting on site.
They may feel exposed, inadequate or simply frustrated with their results.  Or maybe they just want to feel prepared.
This is time to learn how to choose, set up and capture the scene.
Lyn will demonstrate. We will paint on site in the morning then bring the work back to the studio each day
to assess results and decide what the next step might be and possibilities of improving.
It will aim to sharpen your decisions in all stages and allow you to relax with the process.
The afternoons will spring from the morning’s painting.— what is the next step?   We will all possibly have a different ‘next step’.
Lyn Mellady and Julie Goldspink will take this course and split to a max no 5 people in a group
$220 for 3 days
For interstate or distant participants there is a good variety of accommodation nearby.



Waiting lists only for 2021

Australian Pastel Society Qld  2019

Lyn Mellady’s topic for August explores the influences of light, reflections, wind and wave on the East Coast shoreline.
Three demonstrations and two workshops visiting the PSA art centres will see this study unfold.
Each demonstration and the following workshop will be different capturing differing energy and moods.
As the stories change so do our decisions when we paint.
