Join Our Next Zoom Meeting with Lyn Diefenbach!

Anyone who has seen Lyn Diefenbach’s works in pastel or oil will see her fascination with complexity writ large. Be it in pastels or oils, Lyn's mastery is evident. This demonstration will cover Lyn’s approach to portraying glass – in particular the reflective properties – in pastel.

“Reflections have become a constant theme for me. They present the worlds within worlds of not only the object that you are looking at but also whatever is reflected in that object.”

Lyn was awarded Master Pastellist status with the Pastel Society of Australia in 1998, Masters Circle (2014) then Eminent Pastellist (2019) within the International Association of Pastel Societies, and Signature member with the Pastel Society of America (2016). She teaches and demonstrates in pastels and oils around the world and within Australia. For more, see her website https://www.ldief.com

Tuesday 13 August 2024
5.30 for a 6.00 PM start - 8:30 PM

Zoom link sent to PSA members in upcoming email. Non-members can request to join this Zoom for a $10 fee. Email [email protected] for Invoice and Link.

Members: Please remember to upload your painting images on any subject by 9.00 AM Monday 12 August, for judging. This is a great opportunity to get feedback on your work!

I've taken my wren illustration from last week's project further, adding an intricate background of native sarsaparilla to the study. I've been wanting to return to my 15x15cm series of watercolour paintings for too long, and I'm thrilled to add this one to the collection. I'll be working on it over time, picking away at its endless, and endlessly beautiful detailing, lost in the weave of purple and mauve to celebrate the approaching spring here. First we have the drawing and the very early stages of colour going in. Boy, does Mother Nature know complexity and beauty hey! 💜

The original bird reference came thanks to and I hope youll enjoy the next stage of developing this painting with me here (original is available) 🙏

We are filling up fast now for our group event in Tasmania for January and we are thrilled.

Leoni Duff Art Galleries sent me this pastel landscape image yesterday and I can’t stop looking at it.

This is pastel in the hands of a true master.

Leoni lived in the Winnaleah region just 15mins away for many years with her family and is passionate about the region and the incredible beauty here. It is a privilege to have her on board and no surprise that her class is nearly full.

We are hoping to get a small tutor exhibit happening over the 5 days.

This work is:
Morning Frost at Birralee_ Pastel on Bowden Board. W90cm x h 65cm

We can’t wait to see how David translates the incredible rural landscapes of the quiet north east farming belt in Winnaleah where potatoes, onions, poppies, dairy and beef are farmed.

Just resharing this as we launch into the release of our Winnaleah Arts Fest 2025 as it features the artwork of John Gibb Tasmanian Landscape Artist.

I arrived at John’s solo exhibition 6 days in and 20 of the 22 artworks had sold!

John spent his lifetime as a teacher and is beloved by all who meet him.

A few shots from our new Tasmanian retreat venue Enclave that has opened to huge success! Finally a dedicated art retreat space.

You can see what’s happening on our site for next year, and don’t forget we have the Winnaleah Arts festival in January. The teachers are staying in all the rooms at Enclave but you can still come and visit and enjoy a drink in the country hotel attached.

Looking forward to welcoming everyone to my back yard soon!

Our Story

If you are the kind of person that has always wanted to have a go at art, but feel a bit nervous about starting, then you have found the right page.

Artable believes that EVERYONE can learn how to paint and draw with the right teaching and the right tools and we have hundreds of people over many years who are now proof that this is actually true :)

Our focus is on providing weekend workshops and art retreats around Australia and overseas that show you the ‘how to’ in a relaxing environment.

In 2017 we launched the largest gathering of artists our region had ever seen gathering 100 students and 8 teachers together for our annual art retreat. It was a highlight for us - affordable and accessible.
