Tutor David Isbester is an Australia plein air painter capturing the soul of the
landscape in bold, expressive oils. Working directly from life, he captures the light,
mood, and impressions of quiet moments of rural and outback Australia. David
showcases his original oil paintings and limited edition prints at his gallery in
Canowindra, which is open Saturdays and Sundays 10am-4pm.
Workshops will be held outdoors in Barry, with an indoor option available in case of
rain.
Cost is $120 per person and numbers are capped at 12 students per workshop. They are the
same each day but attendees are welcome to book for both if they wish.
