I had a fabulous day learning new techniques from Alexander McKenzie on Sunday 27th March. It was held at the Hazelhurst Regional Gallery a few miles south of Sydney.
Alex instructed a 'master class' on how to break the process of painting into stages: the sketch, the blocking in, the information and mark-making layer, fine-tuning. Designed for busy working people who can only paint on occasions, this "stages' approach allows one to progress with a work... despite interruptions.
I love to see how artists arrange their paint, and this is Alexander's palette.
Alexander (with pony tail) is giving instruction to two fellow work-shoppers.
He had a half-started painting to use for demonstration.
Alex with his own work, which he used for demo-ing.

Fantastic! What a great painting! Fantastic way to spend a Sunday. congratulations, just beautiful!
Hey there,
I was planning on going to his master class today yet didn't manage to make it :{
Are you able to fill me on (if you remember) his process? From sketch to finish like if you remember any specifics it would be greatly appreciated! Im an aspiring oil painter and Mckenzie is probably my favourite artist aha
Thanks a lot!
