Charcoal drawing portraits
with Katya Mortensen
November 19 | Photo by Katya Mortensen
We had the opportunity to refresh our
skills in charcoal portrait drawing in Katya's free workshop. Some of us were rather rusty as could be seen in our first, and even second, of the day's 4 portrait drawing exercises while others displayed their skills and natural talents right from the start of the day.

It was a most enjoyable evening and there were
people still wandering around looking at the
exhibition until about 9pm. Many more passed
through the doors during the 3 days of it running.
Congratulations to all the prize winners and to the
entrants who sold works at the exhibition.

"Then Surviving the now" 12 August - 23 October 2022 at the Goulburn Club.
This exhibition is devoted to the exploration of changes to commercial buildings in Auburn Street, main street of Goulburn, Australia's first inland city. We have seen a sad loss of so many beautiful heritage buildings in Goulburn GBD.
Watercolours Workshop with Helen De Jonge

Watercolour has a reputation for being hard to handle. For the novice (like myself) it can be an
intimidating medium to approach. However, all it
takes, is the right materials and a good teacher to
instil some confidence that will set you on your way
to success.

"A meeting of persons favourable
to the formation of an art society
in Goulburn was held at the Town
Hall yesterday afternoon. The
mayor presided and there were
present about 20 persons.
The chairman, after explaining
the objects of the meeting, called
on Archdeacon Bartlett to move
the first resolution.
Archdeacon Bartlett said he came there to see whether he could do
anything in the way of a Phillistine, and he hoped they would not
consider it cheek on his part as he could not paint a haystack to save
his life. But he could tell a good picture from a bad one, and he hoped
he would be excused for what he was going to say now regarding the
pictures he had seen in Goulburn..."
