 For the third time, I am joining the Walker Street Gallery 9x5 exhibit, opening on the 15th of February 2025.  I have two entries. First is Acrylic on paper and the other is Water Colour on paper. The first is entitled "Banquet" (We can all bring something to the table). The second is "Equality" (Different sizes, colour and shape but all are capsicums. None is greater or lesser than the other, just different).   Both are priced reasonably.  So far, I've sold the entry pieces I have exhibited. We'll see how I go this year.  "Banquet" (We can all bring something to the table) " " Equality" (Different sizes, colour and shape but all are capsicums.

My First Art Exhibit in Australia

I joined the Walker Street Art Gallery “9x5” Art Exhibit this year in Dandenong. The Art Gallery located at Corner Walker & Robinson streets Dandenong holds an annual art exhibit that’s welcome to all kinds of artists who want their works displayed in the gallery for a few weeks. You can put it on sale or just have it there during the exhibit. To be part of the exhibit, you must pay a registration fee of AUD15.00 and get 9x5 wood panel you’ll be using for your painting so it’s like you just paid for the material. All paintings submitted must be on this 9x5 board. All mediums are welcome, combo of types of paints or even prints on fabric or digital photos, almost anything you can put or mount on the 9x5 board. I thought I’d join just for the experience. I wanted to know what happens in an exhibit, what do you do on the opening day, what do other artists do etc. So, I did register and got my board. My piece is a landscape painting of the famous “Uluru” or more popularly known a...

Free e-book on Acrylic painting secrets

-
Here’s another exciting material for us, artists and acrylic lovers. Bob Davies just completed and offering another free e-book, the “Acrylic Painting Secrets” series in PDF format. All that you’ll need is an ADOBE READER (A software that reads PDF files, you can google and download it free also) and an internet connection. The best thing about this deal is not that it’s free but that it’s loaded with nuggets of information and techniques on using acrylics. You can download the file in 7 parts (for slow connection) or all in one bundle at once (for those with faster internet). This e-book is absolutely 100% free. I’ve downloaded a copy already and learning a horde of stuff from it. I definitely recommend this to beginners, those who’ve really not had a formal study of acrylics and self-taught artists (like myself) who, for some reason can’t go or doesn’t have the time to attend art classes. This e-book is highly recommended. Here’s an overview video of the e-book if you’d like...
