Immerse yourself in the landscape that inspired Arthur Boyd and generations of artists with Peter Sharp.

Practice the en plein air painting process that Peter Sharp has developed over many years of painting in the Australian landscape. Through a series of engaging demonstrations and exercises, Peter will share his approach to observing, interpreting, and responding to the environment. Suitable for all skill levels, this acrylic painting workshop offers an accessible and adaptable approach to artmaking.

Led by professional artists, these workshops offer a fresh opportunity to connect with Bundanon's environment. Explore a variety of materials, techniques, and approaches as guest artists share their unique creative practices.

Open to all levels and abilities, whether you're trying something new or expanding your creative practice. All materials are provided.

For over three decades, Peter Sharp's research has explored how nature works and fits together through the lens of abstraction. Working across drawing, painting, sculpture and printmaking, he is less interested in literal depictions than in poetic moments of nature. He has been a finalist in the Dobell Drawing Prize, Sulman Prize and Wynne Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and has exhibited internationally.
