This will enable the participant to understand and accomplish accurate drawings for the painting of their subject. Tutor's note: Eric Dyne has been a professional artist all his working life. Trained in the 1950’s and 1960’s by Fred Ellis, Carl Laugeson, James Coe, Bill Main and others in Fine Arts. In his early career he worked in calligraphy, packaging and commercial illustration.

Eric now undertakes commissions specialising in portraiture, caricature and landscapes. Sat 28 Aug 2010 - One Day LIMITED PALETTE WATERCOLOUR WORKSHOP Tutor: Dan Reeve Time: 9am to 4pm with breaks Location: Wellington Art Club premises, 27 Chelsea Street, Miramar Cost: $100 (includes model cost one day) Note: Materials to be advised. Tea, coffee biscuits will be provided. Colour isn't everything! Less is more! In this single-day workshop Daniel will show us why tone is vital, while colour is an added bonus. How a painting can be beautifully harmonious within itself, rather than a garish confrontation between too many colours. We'll examine the relationship between warm and cool. We'll see what can be done with only three colours. Then with only TWO colours! Tutor's note Daniel is a freelance artist from Titahi Bay. He has been a member of Watercolour NZ for many years, and exhibits with us from time to time. His paintings are represented in private collections around the world and in the permanent collections of our own Parliament House and the offices of the Waitangi Tribunal. He is most well known for the calligraphy and cartography in various films, including The Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Narnia movies, King Kong, Van Helsing and others; but he also does illustration and lettering work for advertising and for film merchandising, creates logos and fonts, and makes artworks on commission. Recently he has been the resident artist on some tours of New Zealand, combining Lord of the Rings tourism with teaching painting and drawing – a purely art-focused tour of the Far North is planned for this coming October.
