Design and Composition with Vida Pearson, multi-awa rd winning artist including

WASA's Artist of the Year multiple times ☺

"Design and composition are both complex. As Ralph Keller notes in his

excellent article in the December Warble (if you haven't read it please do)

- one person's idea of good composition can be anathema to

others. In my presentation I will attempt to concentrate on what constitutes

"bad" design and composition - although still subjective, hopefully we

may find a way to all agree on what really isn't acceptable. However, to be

realistic - in this digital world where anything goes - even that can be

debatable as we are bombarded all day, every day, with a myriad of visual styles, colours and themes. These all

have an impact on what we find visually pleasing - familiarity and all that.... I look forward to plenty of robust discussion!" Vida

WASA hasn't put out a call for several years for members to update their

artist page and images on the WASA website. The way we've done it until now is to produce a Word document, convert it to a PDF and place it on the website which is a Wordpress blog. On the document

are your text and 2 images plus there's 1 image in the slider at the top of the page.

Whilst we'd like to do this annually for you it does take a bit of time to edit the text so they have a uniform appearance and resize the images ~ then the edited text is sent back to you for approval before it's finalised. Then on the WASA website we delete the former page and images and load the new ones.

If anyone would like to volunteer to help we'd be pleased to offer this service in the next few months to

members. Does any one who is comfortable working in Word and Wordpress have some time to help ?

A living journey with wildlife artist Steve Morvell Steve's artworks capture delightfully intimate encounters with often shy and elusive species. His recognition of the spirit of the bush and its creatures leaves a lasting impression on the viewer. In the field of wildlife art Steve Morvell’s reputation as an innovator and his powerful works are aimed squarely at one thing… giving the viewer a real sense of 'being there'! ‘The Shining Light’ …. seeing into the heart of nature. is Steve most comprehensive exhibition ever, displaying over 55 major artworks, encompassing fabulous paintings and drawings of creatures from around the world and reflecting many of Steve’s inspiring journeys and heart-felt experiences. Share with us as we travel to Western China, South Africa, Botswana, live with sealions in the wilderness of Kangaroo Island and his own home in the Grampians National Park where he lives surrounded by the creatures he loves so passionately. Along with genuine field sketches and journal notes made on-site we experience first-hand his spectacular and powerfully moving visions as we share Steve’s profound connection with the wonderful array of naturally-living beings with whom we share this beautiful blue planet. The deep and abiding message held precious within each and every artwork which Steve Morvell creates is a gentle call to recognition of the truth that we share this beautiful and fragile earth with a vast community of fellow sentient beings who feel, hope, dream and live with compassion just as we do. As Steve himself says of the creatures he paints “They are people too. They just wear different clothes!” The conservation message that lies deeply embedded within his artwork is a powerful engine that drives his art and also his life Steve has chosen ‘Creating for Conservation’, a wonderful Australian charity with whom he has worked over many years as the beneficiary for this exhibition. A part of all monies raised will go to support their wonderful conservation and children’s education programmes in Zambia.



First meeting for 2018 - 'Painting the Green Stuff' 21st February 2018 by Ralph Keller Painting foliage was the theme for the first talk of the year. Unfortunately David Reynolds, the evening's scheduled speaker could not be with us but Alan Rawady , well known to all WASA members, was able to step in and give us the benefit of his considerable knowledge on the same subject. Thank you, Alan!

Alan is a watercolour artist and his demos were specifically based on this medium. He also concentrated on painting foliage 'en masse' as you would see it when looking at a whole tree, rather than working on individual leaves.

Alan started his explanations on a large photo of a typical Eucalypt tree. His first piece of advice was to compare a tree to your up-stretched arm and the spread fingers of the hand - the arm represents the trunk and the fingers the branches growing off the trunk, with the different length fingertips approximating the crown's shape. This is the basic growth pattern of most trees. Furthermore, the clumps of leaves on the ends of branches can be likened in shape to mushroom caps. These elements together form the main parts of an Aussie gum tree. If you then determine the light direction to achieve a difference between lit and shaded areas, this will give the mass of foliage the necessary depth and a realistically rounded, three-dimensional shape. ( see diagram below) (se e

Alan next demonstrated how foliage clumps can be painted in different styles and techniques. He stressed it is helpful to leave negative spaces "bird holes" – there are always small spaces/gaps which add to the impression of depth.

- Leaves indicated. Here he indicated some detail by painting basic leaf shapes into and over each other, creating a bunch of foliage on a gum tree as would be seen from reasonably close by. Alan held a round sable brush vertically and by painting with short, random strokes the pointed shapes of typical Eucalypt leaves appeared under his brush. (top left in image on next page)

- Silhouette only. For this Alan moved the brush in a series of uneven circular motions to indicate only the basic growth patterns of foliage clumps - he likened them to cauliflower heads. This is how you would see trees and bushes at a distance. No leaf detail at all was shown here. (top right in image on next page)

- Glazing. A base colour was first painted and left to dry completely (to save time for the demo, Alan used a hairdryer however, he stressed that this should not be done on a 'real' piece of work, as the hot air results in losing some of the colour off the paper. Then he added tone and some detail with a second, somewhat darker, coat of paint and dried that also. Lastly, with still darker paint, shadow areas were created, giving the desired rounded, irregular look to the leaf bunch. (lower left in image on next page)



'Painting the Green Stuff' with Alan Rawady contd…

Four different methods – as described

- Wet in wet. Alan started with a light base colour to indicate the overall shape and, whilst this was still wet, he added darker tones and let them flow into the base colour to, again, give form by differentiating between light and shadows. ( lower right )

- Gum Arabic. In an interesting last variation Alan made use of Gum Arabic, a substance mainly used as binder in the manufacture of watercolour paint. Gum Arabic can also help in the easy removal of paint. Alan started with a first light colour and let it dry. He added a small amount of Gum Arabic to a pool of darker tone and painted this mixture over the surface as well. Then he spattered water droplets from a toothbrush onto the painted surface and immediately blotted the water off with a tissue. The gum in the colour then made it easy to remove the paint from the wet spots. This, once more, created areas of different tones and suggested the shapes and irregularities of leaf clumps. (below)

Finally, Alan offered some useful colour mixes for Australian foliage: Start with either Indigo, Cobalt Blue, Ultramarine, Cerulean or Paynes Grey . Any one of these colours can be mixed with either Raw Umber, Raw Sienna, Yellow Ochre or Australian Red Gold for many different shades of leaf colours. Make your own test samples and keep them for future reference.

It was a very stimulating evening of inspiring demonstrations with many useful tips thrown in by an expert exponent of watercolour painting. Thank you again Alan Rawady, for helping us out and for sharing your extensive experience with us.

WASA's 'Wild Awards 2018' This is the big one for us ! WASA’s prestigious biennial exhibition of fine artworks begins Aug. 23rd. until Sept. 25th. 2018 and prizes of cash/art products/voucher are in excess of $3000. Entry to this exhibition is by selection and we hope you will submit your very best artworks which we also hope will be well presented.

WASA has not shown at Burrinja previously and we hope for a good show in a terrific art/cultural centre with studios, café / bar, theatre and a strong art community in the area. Entries close July 26 th. and we will notify you of acceptance or otherwise by email within a week or so. Delivery of artworks needs to be before 15th. August to one of our depots or direct to the gallery on Friday 17th. August. Burrinja hang this exhibition so whilst it's a big time and energy saver for us, we need to be more stringent about delivery and collection.

we have 3 plinths available. The entry form for the Wild Awards is on the website in the members' library – password is cockatoo.



President's Report at AGM in March 2018 2017 was yet another good year for WASA and this year 2018 is the Society's 45th. year. I hope you enjoyed and benefited from the meetings last year and the Council wants to thank the Society members who featured in many of these events. My personal thanks go to the Council. Karin McKee did a terrific job as Exhibition Director, Jenine Bell Treasurer, Kate Goodman Secretary and Rachael Hammond and Nadine Dudek. WASA's finances are really well managed by Jenine who will present the 2017 audited accounts. Throughout last year WASA purchased a microphone to provide better sound for filming the meetings, donated $580 to wildlife-related charities, hosted 2 workshops, we held exhibitions at AGRA Galleries in Camberwell and Geelong Art Society which were successful with plenty of sales and public engagement. We also did brilliantly well in 2017 at MIFGS – we are the top sales art group who exhibit there. Last year we managed to achieve a profit. A good number of members were able to assist at MIFGS, the meetings and the exhibitions which was a terrific help so thank you ! A special thanks to David Reynolds for filming and editing, to Ralph Keller for writing-up the meetings for Warble, Alison Clark for editing Warble and to Dario Zanesco (Q;land) for website help again. The WASA Artist of the Year 2017 was won by Janet Matth ews which is the 3rd. time for Janet in 10 years. All exhibiting members are eligible for this Award and you're entered into it automatically with results tallied up at the end of the year. Last year there was another increase in membership and we now have members in NZ, India and Canada who occasionally post on the WASA Noticeboard Facebook page. 45% of WASA members live outside of Melbourne. Both of our Facebook pages are regularly updated ( thanks Nadine & Karin ) and a good number of the people who have purchased from us still engage with the page. The FB WASA Noticeboard page for members continues well. The WASA website has recently been optimized so it can be viewed well on mobile devices and whilst most engagement with the Society happens on our Facebook page, the website is still an important part of what we present to the public. This year we will be at MIFGS again and we have two exhibitions booked. One exhibition will be mid-year in Yarra Glen and we chose to title it 'Hunt for the Wilder Pictures' and starting late August until 23rd September the Wild Awards will be on at Burrinja Galleries in Upwey. The Wild Awards are held every second year and it is the exhibition at which we invite sponsors to help the Society bolster the prize money. Entry is by selection and this year promises to look inspiring at Burrinja. We hope to place the Wild Award images on the WASA website to promote greater public viewing. We have three workshops booked being a drawing studio hosted by Janet Matthews, Patrick Hedges is returning to host a scratchboard workshop and Brett Jarrett will host an oils/acrylics workshop. So you can tell the Council has been quite busy organising this. Whilst WASA is doing well I am concerned that the current Council is tiring and we all have other calls on our time and energy. If new people don't put up their hands to assist in general or particularly join Council in 2019 we may need to hold an Extraordinary General Meeting later this year to discuss options and listen to your ideas as to how WASA can continue to exist in the future. If there's no wildlife art society in this part of Australia exhibiting opportunities are diminished. My thanks to all of you for everything you do for the Society, its members and for the wildlife.

Janet Matthews Colour Pencil and Graphite Artist

Hummingbirds – iridescent feathers and transparent wings in pencil . Having been intrigued by hummingbirds since a child, I finally visited South America to see them in the wild. We saw them in three different places, the cloud forest and the Tanda Yappa lodge in Ecuador and at the Enchanted Garden in Columbia. There were also random sightings in gardens and in the bush during our hikes as they’re a normal part of life there, just as we have birds in our gardens. They are tiny birds, varying in size and colour, but the largest ones were still small. With their flight capabilities, they can hover, move backwards and forwards. Their wings are solid and feathered, like a normal bird, but when they are in motion they move so fast that often they are invisible.

Their iridescent feathers were absolutely stunning when they hit the sun at the right angle. When in shadow, their colours are dark and muted, a black throat transformed into a brilliant purple throat when the sun shone on it. Capturing them in memory was so important, being there so close to them, I can re-live the feeling and experience whenever I see a photo of them. I did take thousands of photos, attempting to capture their wings in motion as well as their feathers in both ‘looks’. Back at the studio, I spent months testing, doing examples, working out how I could draw their wings, giving the ‘feel’ of the fast movement and the ‘hum’ of their wings in motion. I am not a fan of ‘blurry’ or ‘fuzzy’ drawing, so finally created a style that is delicate, transparent yet sharp. It is not going to be everyone’s answer to the subject, but it is mine and I am delighted with the results, as are my clients and followers. I had already been exploring drawing transparent wings, of bees and dragonflies, so now the skill that I’ve achieved with the hummingbirds has made my other wings more ‘alive’. Showing the glimpse of the body through the moving wings was another challenge, which I had achieved with my bees and that helped with my hummingbird drawings. My drawings are not just to document an animal as I am more interested in each drawings’ story. Personality, motion, action, interaction are all the main subject of my work. Detailed and accurate drawing of the animal is also paramount to me. So seeing my subjects in the wild and even in captivity is very important. I can observe their antics, absorb their vibe, learn their story and then capture all that in my work.

Thanks Janet ! Definition of iridescent - showing luminous colours that seem to change when seen from different angles.
