Robyn is well known as a prominent Australian wilderness landscape and seascape painter of contemporary realism who started painting in the early 70’s – when traditional art was really taking off and Sydney Galleries were frequent and successful. Most of what she has learned has been learned from the observation of nature and constant hard work – being a self realised artist. Having spent many years painting en plein-air she then graduated to studio work and subjects requiring more time and reference while still retaining the Alla-Prima technique. (Direct painting, wet-in-wet).
Her work can be seen by going to her website http://robyncollier.com.au/

Here is a list of suggested materials by the artist:
- 1 x 12”x16” - ( 31 x 41cm) canvas board. You can use larger if you think you can get
through the painting in the time. Use good quality canvas or give your board a single coat
with a good primer. Cheap boards make the job of painting a lot harder as the paint does not
flow on very well and you will find yourself filling in a lot of little holes.
- BRUSHES – A good selection of reasonable quality long, FLAT SQUARE bristle brushes –
say some small, medium and large. A stiff synthetic round 0 and 2. (Art Basics are good).
PLEASE DO NOT BRING WORN-OUT BRUSHES OR ONES GUNKED UP AT THE FERRULE!

REDS Pilbara Red. (A/S)
