Royal Botanical Gardens, Sydney - 2pm - 2 Hours
Sydney Photography Group
Tony Tran
Join this session for tips on how to use your camera settings to creatively capture nature in a visually interesting way. We will be looking at composition, focus, and colour.

Many professional offices and places of business have large prints gracing their wall space of things such as fields of flowers, a butterfly perched on a leaf, and a single dew drop on a rose petal. These beautiful images are all around us in nature. It just takes that special "eye" to not only see it but to capture it in a way that will turn that simple little piece of nature into a beautiful piece of art. We will learn how to use different angles, light and shadows, and settings to make subjects pop.

While it was probably disappointing for Alice, having a class with just two students was kind of nice like a private lesson. Alice was very encouraging and gave useful tips, focusing on core basics. Her choice of artworks was good and I liked how she explained her reasons for choosing particular works (and not choosing certain others in the gallery).

A low key and unintimidating art class which made learning the basics of shading very easy that even I, someone who hadn't sketched in years, could understand and get a lot out of.

Very enjoyable. Loved the idea of sitting in front of the paintings and using that as the way of understanding shade and tone. Looking forward to trying another class sometime soon.

I thought it was Good and Alice is very talented, but it didn't really show us how to start a figure in depth. I found it difficult, even though I have drawn before.

Having visited New York many time since the 1970?s and coached many Brooklyn and Bronx kids on US Summer camps, I have an affinity with the city and spent nine months just up the road in Connecticut. As a painter of landscapes and bridges two of my favourites were the Brooklyn Bridge featured here and the small Gaplow Bridge in Central Park which I painted in both Fall and Winter colours.

I struggle with the seductive qualities of smartphone experiences that leverage artificial intelligence, persuasive design, and their potential for creative inspiration. My latest drawing is an attempt to balance that tension. You can read more about the inspiration and process behind this artworkhttps://quirky.ink/imbas-forosnai-and-

It?s those unusual positions during grooming, mating ritual, breeding display, or just being silly. I strive to capture the moment that others miss, don?t see or notice. I?ll then use my photography as reference to create, produce and share an art piece that allows others a glimpse into that secret world of lines, colors and details that I see.This Sandhill Crane fit that bill perfectly.

As we had the arrival of snow this week I thought it would be perfect to create a nice winter scene, this one came out of my mind rather than a reference photo, so it?s of no particular place other than some music, a paintbrush and a blank canvas. I actually only learnt to paint during lockdown so it?s always really cool when I see the finished product and it looks pretty good.
