Jane is a delight, however, I was very late and couldn?t find the group, it was very difficult to find, it was very hot and humid, I parked up at the entrance, but instructions should have been to drive down to the lower car park, to the second playground, as there are two, another confusion, I was exhausted by the time I arrived

It was fun, the position chosen was up high on the hill the wind blowing up was very cold making painting very difficult below on the clay grass would have been preferable with a bit of the sun. But we all managed but not a pleasant experience on the day.

ARTISTS
Jane Osypenko
Jane graduated from Art University in 2003 and she is an experienced Art teacher who has been working with students of all ages ever since. Originally from Ukraine, Jane has been living in Sydney for 7 years now and has completely fallen in love with the amazing Australian nature. She loves to incorporate the beauty of the outdoors into her artwork and encourages her students to do the same.

She loves to paint with oil on canvas, acrylics, watercolors, and pretty much any other medium you can think of! But the thing that really sets Jane apart is how excited she gets to see her students' happy faces and their amazing results after every class. It's clear that art is her passion, and she loves nothing more than inspiring others to discover their own creative talents.

Title or Location: Surreal Adventure
My journey with art actually started back when I was a preteen, obsessed with painting. Life eventually got in the way and I had to put my brushes down for a while, but 2020 brought a twist of fate that reignited that old spark.Since then, I?ve completely fallen in love with the world of watercolour. There?s something about its fluidity and depth that just feels like home.

I work in watercolour, inspired by Australian native flora and fauna and the richness of marine life. Colour is central to my practice, used deliberately to create energy, movement, and visual impact, allowing each work to stand out with clarity and vibrancy.
