About Chris Vidal:

Chris Vidal is a contemporary realist artist living in Sydney, Australia. His interest in the arts started at a very young age. He studied classical drawing at the School of Arts in Malta and then pursued a career as a medical scientist and researcher. However, his passion for the arts persisted.

He was interested in oil painting, so he taught himself how to paint using the medium. He eventually gave up his longtime job to pursue a career as a professional artist. His most recent paintings are a variety of still life and travel-inspired depictions of the Australian landscape. Realist and impressionist masters as well as modern painters have an effect on his work.

Chris creates a constant flow of new works and commissioned paintings, from his home studio in Sydney. His works were also published in books and magazines and are found in private and corporate collections in Australia and Internationally.

He is also passionate about teaching people about painting. He has been instructing students in drawing and painting for the past eight years in several Sydney locales. He places equal emphasis on explaining the technique and the rationale behind how it is carried out.

This is a reminder letting everyone know that we have Tammy Porter demonstrating Acrylics at our next monthly meeting tomorrow on Tuesday 11th July, 7:30pm at the Stan Stevens Studio, Deerubbin Centre, George St, Windsor.

Come along to see Tammy’s beautiful technique and work in action.

About Tammy Porter:

As an artist, Tammy has participated in different community and cultural projects using mainly Acrylic paint as a medium. Tammy previously worked in a role to promote the healing benefits of arts and social connections at St John of God Hospital, Windsor.

After attending Nepean TAFE and doing a course in graphic design, Tammy used these skills in her office administration roles and in producing a community directory. Tammy is now pursuing her passion and studying a Bachelor of Fine Art, painting online at Curtin University in WA.

Tammy’s cultural background is diverse, being a mix of Aboriginal and different European countries; she is proud to have been able to reconnect with her Aboriginal heritage, become a member, and paint within a community of people from many Aboriginal Nations.

At present, she uses Acrylic paints with an occasional dabble in Watercolours. She finds that acrylics are highly versatile, from the runny and messy qualities of the pouring techniques; to their suitability for dotting and use in Aboriginal art.

Tammy ads that adaptability is one of the medium’s strengths; furthermore, it can be incorporated into mixed media or moulded for textural applications. Tammy initially saw them as an oil replacement, but now she continues to discover and love this medium.

While studying and painting, Tammy’s inspiration is to find a connection between community and self-expression, pushing the boundaries of ideas to seek and define a unique personal style.

Tammy’s artwork “Connections” was awarded 1st prize at the Hawkesbury Show this year.

Reminder: Monthly Meeting 13th June – Dee Jackson Painting a Portrait in Watercolour

Monthly Demonstration Meeting
with Dee Jackson – Portrait in Watercolour
 7.30pm, 13th June 2023

We are delighted to have Dee Jackson back with us to demonstrate ‘Painting a Portrait in Watercolour’ at our next monthly meeting on Tuesday 13th June, 7:30pm at the Stan Stevens Studio, Deerubbin Centre, George St, Windsor.

Come along to see her beautiful technique and work in action.

You can register your attendance by email to  info [@] mtas.com.au .

Both members and non-members are welcome to join our meetings to view an inspirational artist at work each month, as well as the opportunity to enjoy networking with like-minded art enthusiasts.

Cost is $5 at the door. Supper is provided and please remember to park outside due to early car park closure.

About Dee Jackson:

Watercolour is Dee’s great love. For her, it is the fluid spontaneity that has the attraction. Watercolour, as a medium, lends itself to the softness and curves of the human form. It allows the artist great freedom.

Whenever she creates a portrait, she becomes aware of the almost seamless link we have with our past or future, our hopes, joys, or sorrows. For her, portraiture by its very nature is an intimate experience. Preoccupied as we often are, perhaps from very different backgrounds, there is always a human connection.

For Dee, although each portrait essentially begins the same way – with discussion, planning, sketching, watercolour washes and glazes – ultimately the creation of each portrait is an individual experience.

Her portraits have been commissioned throughout Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the USA, and Vietnam.
