2021 Workshop

THE LANGUAGE OF LANDSCAPE

ART UNLIMITED WEEKEND WORKSHOP with JUDE FLEMING

29th & 30th May 2021

COBBORA HALL - DUNEDOO STREET, COBBORA

COST: $285 PER STUDENT

Bookings essential and participant numbers limited.

Join artist Jude Fleming for a weekend exploring drawing and painting techniques that will be expressive, personal and unique. The Language of Landscape will focus on the local landscape with both en plein air and studio work, invoking a personal response to the land and natural environment.

​

Suitable for all levels of art making experience, the workshop will enable a sensory approach to landscape art works. On each of the two days participants will venture into the outdoors in the morning taking visual notes and making drawings. Afternoons will be spent fleshing out the drawings with paint and creating works that pay homage to the landscape.

ABOUT THE TUTOR

Jude Fleming is a highly regarded regional artist with a profound love of the Australian landscape, expressed in her notable body of work. “Even at its harshest, the Australian bush has infiltrated my soul. It speaks of ancient knowledge. It has entirely unique flora and fauna which holds a strong appeal for me.”

​

Jude works mostly on paper, making acrylic paintings, collages, mixed media pieces and artist books. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from National Art School and has shared her practice and studio with students for more than 30 years, conducting regular weekly classes, as well as regional, interstate and international workshops.

​

Her work has been featured in exhibitions at Western Plains Cultural Centre Dubbo, ARO Gallery Darlinghurst Sydney, and in numerous regional galleries. She has been a successful and admired exhibitor in Art Unlimited over the past decade.
