Graphite and Sanguine Workshop

Good morning all,

I hope you don’t mind emailing you directly about Graphite and Sanguine Workshop in Canberra, 9-11 Jan. 2026.

Both mediums are really good for improving composition and use of tone, eliminating complexity of mixing colours. Water soluble. They can be used as a sketching tool and worked over with brush or painted directly with brush.

Art Graf is the best quality brand, available in Australia ( I will have several crayons and pencils available for purchase ) inexpensive and long lasting. All you need is one watercolour brush and paper ( watercolour paper and some  cartridge paper ).

Details can be found here   https://asoc.au/workshops-and-short-courses-2-2-2-2-2/  or you can email me if you have any questions regarding the technique.

Thank you,

Tony

NAVA Talks AI

Share Tweet Forward Share

Illustration by Emma Pham 2024. NAVA Talks AI is a collaborative series of good practice conversations on the use and impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on work and practice in visual arts, craft and design.

While AI presents a world of creative and supportive potential for artists and arts workers, it also poses significant challenges regarding copyright, consent, creative/cultural autonomy, Indigenous sovereignty and labour. Artists, arts workers and organisations must be central to these conversations to navigate the evolving landscape.

In May, we welcome you to join three online sessions where industry experts will tackle legal and ethical tensions at the intersection of AI and arts practice. NAVA Talks AI will also assist in informing NAVA’s ongoing advocacy work in the AI space.

Participation is free. Register for each session to join the conversation. 

These sessions will be Auslan interpreted and live captioned. If you have any additional access requirements, please contact emma@visualarts.net.au as soon as possible.

Co-facilitated by NAVA and Shevaun Wright, artist and solicitor at Terri Janke and Company, this session delves into the intersection of AI and Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP).
