Our Guest Speaker for the February 2019 meeting was Tony White. Watercolourist.
Tony White is a Watercolour Artist from Newcastle, Australia. He has established a great following with collectors and students alike. His work has been sold as far afield as Germany and the U.K. He is teaching classes and workshops all around the country and the world. His students always have a lot of fun and leave his workshops with a refreshed and invigorated approach, ready to attack their painting with gusto! His social media following is gaining momentum and with over 10,000 Facebook followers, he is hitting his stride around the world. His style is traditional impressionistic landscape with a strong emphasis on light and atmosphere.
“I am inspired by light. Even in the most innocuous of scenes, if the light is dramatic and the mood is misty or sharp or rainy, then I’m in! I believe a painting should move you emotionally and if it doesn’t, then it isn’t doing its job”.
