Impressions In Line and Colour: An Exhibition by Christine Turner

Christine discovered a love for drawing figures at 16 and studying A level art at school. This passion stayed with her and she takes every opportunity to pursue life drawing, mostly rendering the figure in watercolour washes. Her work was exhibited in a London based gallery and in Stow-on the-Wold where Christine grew up. Christine was actively involved with regional art in England.

Soon after her move to Australia, Christine joined Woodend Art Group (WAG) which proved a golden opportunity to meet local artists, make good friends and also to participate in various workshops that WAG offered at that time, including pleine-aire excursions and camps.

For this exhibition Christine has two themes – her garden and life drawing.
Christine works freely and spontaneously to capture the essence of her chosen subject. She combines her free-style monochrome drawings with coloured paintings, and introduces a variety of mixed media: paint, graphite, chalk, pastel, ink and collage to help her achieve varied mark making while often using her beautiful garden plants as a source of inspiration.
Impressions in line and colour reveals how Christine pushes boundaries and is not afraid to convey to the viewer a sense of the energy ever present in her work. Impressions is on display at The Gallery, 684 Mt. Macedon Road, Mt. Macedon from Tuesday 6 May to Sunday 1 June.

The Gallery is open Friday to Tuesday, 10am to 4pm and is situated next to The Trading Post, Mount Macedon.
