What you'll do

Looking for creative things to do in Perth?

This course I have designed rolls along every Wednesday from 9:00am. As we all have busy schedules with work and family, and travel, I am very accommodating, so you can miss some weeks and come back when you're next available.

If you haven't not already seen the detail I paint the ocean in, you're in for a treat, as I will share all my knowledge and learnt techniques with you.

My philosophy is quite simply put, "to share."

Some prior experience in painting is preferred as working with oils is quite different from acrylic paint. If you have had some acrylic painting experience, you'll be absolutely fine.

Join this adventurous, yet disciplined, and wildly exploratory, and incredibly eye-awakening experience! My oil painting ocean course runs over six weeks. You will learn not only the basics, but much more of the beauty of oil painting, how I blend my colours, which colours I use, how to layer, create depth, vanishing pints, master creating figurative proportions, and most importantly, how to paint ocean! Once you use oils, you'll never turn back.

Immerse yourself in the divine WA ocean hues, and learn to master my techniques of our dreamy WA ocean-scapes, and why I am recognised nationally and internationally.

This hands-on course is set to be a fascinating experience as you watch your painting come to life.

At the end of this course, you can take home your ocean oil painting, as well as some newfound artistic skills!

Louise Farnay’s long artistic career spans well over 40 years of Art, Design, and Creativity.

From her self-conceived global Handbag brand spanning sixteen years soared to international acclaim overnight, was personally acknowledged by Dame Vivienne Westwood, international models and movie stars, to her Art Teaching, Louise is also a qualified, practicing Art Therapist, to top it off.

LOUISE’S WORKSHOPS ARE LIKE NO OTHER! Always evolving, always fun, fulfilling and creative, always practicing a safe, non-judgmental environment, Louise’s workshops are highly personally rewarding. Students just keep returning and returning for more! Their results are clearly expressed on their faces; sheer joy, yet a cool, calm, beaming confidence with their creative outcomes.

Listed below are Louise’s various Workshops:

Paint Your Pooch - NEW! Acrylic based on canvas, plenty of textures, and guided brushwork, all you need bring is a photo of your pooch, or other furry friend. Louise, with her high energy, and creative career, including cartoon and caricature, facilitates you to an easy-to-understand practice, creating a loving expression of your pooch’s face, capturing each furry friend uniquely, individually, personality-filled as they are!

Oceanic Abstraction - Louise describes her unique discipline that she self-created as her ‘’fluid, dreamy, watery side, and emotional side.’’ Using all oil mediums, Louise will share her personal mastery of how she blends various oil mediums to create a dreamy, fluid and masterly skillful technique. This is like NO other workshop out there, and is very messy so wear your glad rags! This is a hugely calming process of going inward and just being with the paint. Your results will be completely individual, highly-rewarding, personal and unique.

Beach Bums - Louise expresses her “quirky, playful side” in this hugely popular FUN-FILLED workshop where she breaks down the human form into easy to paint shapes, so even if you’ve never painted before, you WILL master the figurative form like a pro! You will learn what and how to blend, mix, scrape and create real beach textures. This is acrylic painting process is highly therapeutic, relaxing fun. You’ll walk home with a canvas proud and ready to hang!

Hyper-Realism - Louise describes her photo-like accurate oil-based work as an extremely intense, challenging discipline. If you are a perfectionist and want to paint realism, this is for you! Louise describes this as her calm, introvert and highly focused trait of her character. You will learn how to measure figurative form traditionally, to get each body limb and part in proportion, before learning how to mix and blend, using a dry brush work-technique, she also taught herself. This requires extreme patience, around 100 hours per painting, and a want to learn how to master your skill to accurate perfection. Oil based mediums are used in this workshop. One-on-one or small groups up to four pax only.
