Recent Demonstrations

Demonstration by Tanner Tan

Thursday, 15th August, 2024

Our guest artist for August was Tanner Tan, a beautiful water colourist who has been a friend of St George for quite a long time.

Tanner’s artwork started with a very large brush creating the background and then used much smaller brushes to add the very descriptive detail.  

All done in 90 minutes. So inspiring!    

Many thanks, Wren
