<span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I love early morning watercolour painting. And this particular painting now, whatever will happen with it, will remind me of a wonderful weekend spent sharing skills and experiences with other artists. I am using a new ceramic palette given to me by one student, it is working wonderfully.</span></div>

We had such a great experience exploring all the secrets of watercolour painting last weekend. Huge thanks to the Queensland Wildlife Artists Society for organising the workshop and to all the fifteen artists who were very dedicated and keen to paint birds. Most photos here are from the attendees.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Personally, I had heaps of fun, it was a great pleasure and honour to share my skills with others. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope we'll do it again soon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For now, I offer private, one to one tuition on weekends on drawing and watercolour painting on any natural subject, birds in particular in Brisbane.</div>

After two years of visiting Banks Street Reserve, a beautiful urban park at only five kilometres from the Brisbane city, I felt like starting a series of small-size watercolour sketches about the birds I can see there. Starting with an Eastern Spinebill and a White-browed Scrubwren.</div>

I was visiting a popular birding spot in Brisbane, Oxley Creek Common, on a very dry August day, a small flock of Double-barred Finches was busy finding food on the path and on the dry grasses nearby.</div>

Indian Yellow makes a wonderful primary yellow, it leans towards orange in thick applications while it becomes a lemony yellow in light tints and washes. The Indian Yellow I make mixes beautifully with Prussian Blue for very natural greens or with Madder Red Deep for muted oranges, and Carmine for bright oranges and reds. It is staining and only lifts to a degree. <a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/277723470/indian-yellow-handmade-artist" href="https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/277723470/indian-yellow-handmade-artist" target="_blank">Find it on Etsy.</a></div>

Terra Pozzuoli is a natural red-earth colour, although originally from southern Italy, it can be found in many other locations around the world, to me it would be the perfect colour to paint the Australian desert and similar landscapes. It is a very strong colour with a big personality, while mixing, a little will go a very long way, overpowering all other colours, it is in fact, the strongest of my palette. Used in small amounts with other colours can create the most beautiful, natural and harmonious mixes ideal to paint anything nature-related, from landscapes to architecture, wildlife and portraits.<br />

The Eastern Spinebill is one of my favourite birds, I particularly like its colours and pattern, I believe the three primary colours making up the plumage of this bird represent the prefect palette for me. A Subdued blue and red and an earthy yellow. A minimal palette for this winter visitor in Brisbane, this bird in particular was seen at Gold Creek Reservoir, a favourite Birding place for me.</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;">I would like to invite you to <a href="https://birdsofbanksstreetreserve.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">visit my new blog</a> on the bird-life of Banks Street Reserve, a place I regularly visit for bird watching. At the end of 2017 I decided to adopt Banks Street Reserve as my birding patch. Living only at five minutes drive and only cycled by the creek a few times years ago, I had a feeling the place may have held some surprises. So my New Year resolution for 2018 was to visit Banks Street Reserve at least once a week. Surprising it was indeed... </span></div>

I completed this painting of a male Mulga Parrot during the Australia Wild 2018 exhibition last month at the Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens. It reminds me of an amazing trip to the beautiful dry inland Australia, Alice Springs and surrounding areas. I love the rough texture of this Khadi handmade watercolour paper.</div>

Australia Wild 2018 exhibition has been a great success, we had many visitors and it was such a pleasure to meet other artists, share their processes as well as meeting the public and answering all their questions.

I painted most of this watercolour while demonstrating at the Logan Art Gallery during my last exhibition. A the end of summer, Chestnut-breasted Mannikins gather in large groups including all the young birds. I saw this family of five at Sandy Camp Road park on the eastern Brisbane suburb of Wynnum North.</div>

Sharp-tailed Sandpipers (<i>Calidris acuminata</i>, Piovanello siberiano) are only about 22 cm yet they accomplish a very long migration twice a year, every year. They spend the southern summer on Australia's mudflats and return to Siberia - northern Russia for the brief northern summer breeding season. They endure many threats during their long journey.</div>

In October last year I went volunteering during a bird-banding session in Manly, Brisbane organised by <a href="https://birdsqueensland.org.au/" target="_blank">Birds Queensland</a> and the <a href="http://waders.org.au/" target="_blank">Queensland Wader Study Group</a>. The birds were caught with cannon-netting, measured, aged, ringed and banded and then released. Taking part in the process of banding migratory shorebirds has been a fantastic experience.</div>

I am very excited to present my work during this upcoming exhibition. It is my first exhibition and there will be many other artists from the Queensland Wildlife Artists Society Inc, a society I recently joined as an exhibiting member.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will be exhibiting eight of my original and framed watercolours and they will be for sale. I will be there at the opening night, see details below, and also on another date in April (to be confirmed) to give a live demonstration.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope to see you there!<br />
