stARTup - Beginner? this course is for you!
We've had many enquiries about "how to get started" from people who have always wanted to “do” art - but never known where to start? Participants will be introduced to a range of media and techniques and can choose to do the whole series over 8 weeks, or a minimum of three of the classes (introduction plus 1 module). COMMENCING OCTOBER 9. If interested, click below for further information: stARTup Information flyer and an Enrolment Form FIGURES IN THE LANDSCAPE’ EXHIBITIONOur next exhibition featuring the portrait artist’s group – Portrait Painters Hunter – will be held in the Society’s studio building and gallery in Lambton Park over the October Long Weekend. The genre is figures in the landscape and will be a step outside the comfort zone for a few artists but they will rise to the occasion with the ‘landscape’ being outside, interiors, urban, beach, and water.
There will be about 30 paintings for sale of all mediums. Everybody is welcome to attend. Come and meet the artists and enjoy nibblies and drinks at the opening at 2pm, Saturday 29th September. Sunday 30th & Monday 1st October gallery hours are 12 to 4pm. 
2018 Newcastle Plein Air Paint Out
15 to 19 October Plein air events are held around the world, and with all the natural and built attractions around Newcastle, we felt it was high time we put Newcastle on the plein air map! Each day there will be one or two locations and all the locations will be relatively close to the city centre, including the harbour, beaches, city streets and so on. One or two mentors available each day to help those less familiar with painting outside. More information & registration Follow the link to our Workshop Page to view the details of this and our other fabulous workshops by many of Australia's leading professional artists.

Congratulations to Cliff Hosking, one of our regular portrait painting artists. Cliff was chosen as one of the 30 finalists from over 400 Australia-wide entries, in the Newcastle Art Gallery’s annual portrait prize competition, the Kilgour Portrait Prize.
This prestigious prize is worth $50,000 to the winner and is quite an honour to be shortlisted. Cliff’s entry of his daughter Caitlin, was part of our ‘Family’ exhibition held in the Society’s rooms last November and was on display at our ‘The Hunter – Let’s Face It’ 2018 portrait exhibition last March. Sadly it didn’t win. His watercolour was subtitled ’Looking to the Future’ but Cliff says that Caitlin would like it named ‘waiting for the snow’. According to Cliff ‘the young are so pragmatic and unromantic’. The image is of Cliff’s wife, Patricia Davidson and Grantly Hunt viewing the portrait which will be on display until October 21st.
