Led by tutor Grahame Martin, the workshops have encouraged participants to delicately mix colour and shade to produce landscape paintings that champion shadow and depth to evoke feeling.

Mr Martin said each session looks at different subject matter, and invites participants to recreate a vast variety of landscapes.

"We started off doing a scene I painted that was inspired by Arthur Streeton's painting of the Hawkesbury River, and we've changed it up each week," he said.

"Our most recent subject has been a Sofala landscape, and we've also done ocean seascapes and old cottages."

Mr Martin said the classes never fail to attract a friendly group of artist willing to further hone their craft.

"It's all about helping artists understand how to command light, space and atmosphere in their paintings through portrayals of what they observe in their everyday lives," he said.

"Oil painting allows greater room to mix colour and add more depth to scenes."
