Paula Knight grew up beside beautiful Mount Maunganui Beach in the Bay of Plenty. In London, Paula worked in design and studied life painting in oils at Wimbledon School of Art. A two year journey travelling through Africa saw her botanical painting career begin.
Paula’s background as a watercolour botanical artist shows in the intimate detail of her work. “With the botanical studies I only paint from life to gain the purist understanding of colour, texture, form and light.” Paula’s work has hung in numerous galleries around New Zealand and has attracted international attention.
Paula has exhibited in the Bay of Plenty Garden and Art Fest since its beginnings; both her work and her garden have a distinctive New Zealand native appeal. Paula has had two series of NZ Flora and Fauna paintings published by an international card company and have featured on magazine covers. Paula’s paintings and gardens have been featured on the Australian garden television series Garden Gurus.
Join this class to explore alternative ways of tackling a drawing. Sketching exercises along with traditional studies will allow students to flex creative and observational drawing skills.
In the late 1700's as art academies and drawing training evolved, plaster casts of great works of sculpture, were collected by the academies. Students were able to study and draw the effects of light and shadow as it fell over the motionless human form.
Due to popular demand my painting workshops are back and these holidays I will be opening them up to all ages. During each session students will be guided with step-by-step instructions for how to paint a picture using acrylic paints.
In this course they will learn how to combine drawing and watercolour by exploring playful and unconventional techniques.
Choosing your own subject, media and style, you will create paintings from your own reference, photograph or imagination.Â
