Gumburu Getaway- ART ESCAPE 2008

The 2008 Getaway (October 17/18/19th) was once again a roaring success. We enjoyed great food and companionship, demonstration of ink into muslin, a fauve approach to still life, and fascinating insight into David Rowe's unique approach to creating a surrealist painting. Kellie was our very professional model this year, and she stoically endured the freezing rainforest as well as the much cosier fireside and loft locations. Artists worked in oils, acrylics, watercolour, pastel, charcoal and graphite on a wide variety of supports, and created many beautiful works inspired by our surroundings. The homemade desserts were pretty inspirational too!

Art Escape 2009 has been set for September 25th to 28th. A day longer for those who can arrange a monday off work, and right in the middle of the school holidays for those who work in education.

Gumburu Getaway is a 3 night Art Escape for 20 adult artists (from experienced to beginners) at the gorgeous eco-lodge in the Paluma rainforest 1.5 hours north of Townsville. Activities (all are optional- it's all about your choices) include life drawing, painting en plein air, demonstration by professional artists, paperclay sculpture and more. Please note there is NO FORMAL TUITION, rather an opportunity to learn by demonstration and osmosis whilst spending quality and tightly focussed time with other artists. Cost for 2009 TBA and will be advised here. Price is all up including dorm style accomodation and an amazing menu (vegetarian option available) from cook extraodinaire Judy. Contact Deb by email or phone (07) 4751 3336  to book.
