General Oil & Acrylic Painting Mentoring Classes
for Beginners & Intermediates
|
Are you new to painting and just don't know where to begin? Or have you finished your painting but something is not quite working for you and you don't know how to improve it?
I understand - all artists, including myself, have to start somewhere, and my biggest hurdle was not knowing what I didn't know! There are no shortcuts, only hours on the brush, but it does help to have someone point you in the right direction! In these casual mentoring sessions you will gain the knowledge you need, when you need it. I will be with you every step of the way, as you progress through your painting, to help you achieve great results. Enjoy the benefits of:

About Your Mentor
|
Madeleine has completed 6 years of Art Study at an Adelaide private art school, and undertaken numerous workshops and art retreats with renowned artists in order to hone her skills and knowledge.
She has also successfully exhibited her work across Adelaide, and has sold to local, interstate and international collectors Watch Madeleine in action in her own episode of "Put Some Colour In Your Life" television program |
Where are We Located:
|
Classes are run from Madeleine's studio area, at her place of residence:
61 Alexandrina Drive, Clayton Bay. Directions: If you are heading south along the coast line, below are some directions for clarification. Google maps can sometimes take you the long way, so it's a matter of making sure to take the Nangkita Road turnoff when you first enter Mt Compass, and when you get through Finnis you turn right at the (very small signposted) Clayton-Finnis Road (just around the bend), otherwise you end up at Milang and you back track to us via the lake, which adds on another 15 minutes. |
- Head towards Victor Harbor on the Victor Harbor Road
- At Mt Compass, take the Nangkita Road (1st left -pub on the corner)
- Follow this until the T-Junction and turn Right (towards Goolwa)
- Follow this until the T-Junction and turn Left (towards Strathalbyn)
- Follow this until you come to a big bend and a sign on the right that points you to Clayton Bay.
- Follow this through Finnis and turn left when you come to the intersection that continues as a dirt road
- 500 yards take the 1st right turn (only a small sign saying Finnis-Clayton Road)
- Follow this for about 10 minutes until you hit another intersection that continues as a dirt road - turn right into Clayton Bay.
- 61 Alexandrina Drive is on the left hand side, just past the caravan site sign
