Denise gets ready to share her artistic knowledge

PROFESSIONAL artist and teacher Denise Hogan is to share her skills with novice artists in a weekend painting and drawing session in the Russell Gallery, New Quay.
She says that the weekend classes will cover everything from planning and preparation, to drawing and painting to the finished piece, with everthing else that comes in between.
A spokeswoman for the Russell Gallery said that whether someone is a complete beginner or an experienced painter, the workshop will cater for individual needs. Pupils will be introduced or refreshed on their knowledge of materials, given demonstrations and shown how to achieve good results even as a novice.
The artist brings a wealth of experience of painting and teaching. “She is a successful exhibiting artist with works hanging in many private and public collections both nationally and internationally. She specialises in the media of paint,  watercolours, oils and acrylics, and is also a qualified fine-art printmaker and glass artist.  Denise runs her own gallery and teaching studio in Galway City,” a spokeswoman for the gallery added.
The classes will be held on Saturday, June 12 and Sunday, June 13 from 10am to 5.30pm.
