ACRYLICS | Jenni Kelly
FUNTASTIC ACRYLICS
Introductory to intermediate
Estimated material cost: up to $250*
This workshop will introduce students to an
unorthodox approach to painting. Be prepared to
scrape, spray, throw, and roll paint on your canvas
and leave the brushes to last. Working with warm
and cool colours as well as transparent colours for
glazing and textured surfaces. Starting with abstract
to impressionism, students will be encouraged
to unleash their untapped creativity without
restriction. Enjoy many of Jenni’s demonstrations
and individual guidance. You will leave the workshop
with a new found creative confidence and a
greater understanding of managing acrylics. Some
experience will be required, but more importantly,
just an open mind!
Jenni was born in Kerang,
Victoria, and was educated in
Bendigo, where her interest in
painting began after seeing the
great Australian Masters at the
Bendigo Regional Art Gallery.
Jenni was a member of the The
Flying Art School for many years.
Jenni now lives on the Sunshine
Coast and she achieves a realistic expression in her creative
freestyle painting which has an appealing sense of colour,
freedom and movement with subjects close to nature.
