| I’m delighted to report that artist Sofie Dieu, who exhibited with us and delivered her ink painting workshop at Wonthaggi ArtSpace less than a year ago, is finding a solution to this current period of self isolation. Sofie has created an online learning platform Learn Paint Grow, which offers free art and well-being activities. Each week, Sofie adds a new exercise to keep it fresh and engaging. She also answers all your questions and does one-on-one support through an LPG forum. |  The art of fusion May 2, 2019 French artist Sofie Dieu uses Chinese inks, Japanese techniques and Australia’s natural world in her pursuit of "the numinous". |
She is also offering short classes at $15. Depending on how much you want to throw yourselves in it, a class can last anywhere from an hour to a whole afternoon! It is mainly ink painting oriented though there is also a mixed media/colour class. Depending on how popular this is, there might be some more coming up so stay tuned!
For people who wants to dig in for the full ink series it is available for six months for $66. Here again, as for the short classes and the wellbeing activities, Sofie Dieu does one-on-one support through LPG forum.
Have a look at what to expect at https://youtu.be/5_dU17e95fE
Also - remember that she had planned to hold a class in July of this year. With luck it will still proceed! Please contact Sofie on 0413 469 882 or drop a line to sofiedieu@gmail.com
