Oil Painting with Sensitivity: Maryanne Wick (29-30 Aug)

Maryanne Wick is a graduate and a Public Programs lecturer at the National Art School in Sydney.
Primarily a tonal painter, her compositions reflect the cultural, historical and natural riches of her experience. Known for her oil and acrylic painting, drawing, printmaking and collage, her work is held in private and public collections, both locally and internationally. Painting awards include the Minister’s Prize (NSW) in 2000, the Korea-Australia Art Foundation Prize in 2015 and the Macarthur Award at the Fisher’s Ghost Art Award in 2023.
Maryanne has held twenty solo exhibitions in Australia, South Korea and Spain. She has participated in numerous group exhibitions and artist residencies in Australia, South Korea, China, the USA and Spain. Appointed resident artist in 2018 by the Museo Municipal de Valdepenas in Ciudad Real, Maryanne’s still life paintings, drawings and monoprints based on ancient Iberia, were exhibited twice in Spain in 2019 and at the Campbelltown Arts Centre, Sydney, in 2022. Her work on this subject continues.
In 2025, Maryanne was invited to exhibit a series of paintings at two of Seoul’s leading art fairs. Her subject focused on Australian wildlife conservation.
Represented by Art Atrium in Sydney and Lorraine Pilgrim in Queensland, Maryanne is currently working towards her next solo exhibition in Sydney.

The following is required for this workshop: –
Canvases/ canvas boards – 2 x medium and 2 x small (no smaller than A4 size). Your choice of shape. One more if you feel the need!
Surfaces – In advance of the workshop, prime your canvas surfaces (and edges) at least twice with white Gesso. Use a flat, wide brush. Aim for a smooth finish (by adding a little water to the Gesso). Allow to dry well between each coat.
Brushes for painting – bring along your favourite brushes (Flat and Filbert). Include at least one wide brush (15 or 20 mm wide). A set of flat, soft, synthetic brushes, ranging from 2mm to 15mm is a good way to start your collection.

Oil paints – Essential for this workshop are the Primary colours; a rich red, a yellow and a blue (suggest the Cadmium colours). Plus, a black and a white.
Odourless turps and a glass jar with a lid (important)
Small bottle of linseed oil (optional)
Large plate or palette
Cling film or foil
Paper masking tape (white, medium width 24 mm)
Variety of rags (important when using oils), a small towel and barrier cream for hands.
Wear appropriate closed-in shoes and a painting apron or an old shirt. Oil can get messy! Your paintings will be wet so plan, in advance of the workshop, how you will carry them home.

Oils – odourless please!

Painters of all levels are welcome
