The Agitation Hill Artists will be holding an exhibition at the Grist Bakery during July.
The exhibition opened on July 1 and runs until July 31.
The small group of artists gather at the Anglican Church Hall on the third Thursday of each month from 1pm to 4pm to create together in their chosen mediums.
The sessions are held in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere where budding and experienced artists guide each other in painting oils, acrylics, watercolours, pastels, pen and ink drawing and graphic drawing.
The group often welcome guests artists for workshops and demonstrations in a range of mediums to broaden their skill sets. There most recent workshops explored contours, contrast and gesture, and watercolour.
The artists told the Express they are looking forward to presenting an incredibly diverse exhibition which will feature everything from landscapes to portraits and everything in between.
Artist Chris Moule coordinates the monthly gatherings with partner and fellow artist Vivien Pells and will present an array of new landscape works of Harcourt before and after the fires. A larger solo exhibition will feature at the Harcourt General & Produce Store in August.
New member Irma Zimmerman will present an array of oils inspired by the Melbourne cafe scene.
“I love capturing the detail, colour and shade, everyday features and capturing the essence of each space,” Irma said.
Suki Lee has been attending the group for around two years now and most recently has been enjoying creating beautiful imagery of local birdlife in coloured pencil.
Richard Hollis will present some of his stunning acrylic works.
Catherine was putting the finishing touches to a landscape featuring a bold blue tree, which stands by the roadside near Daylesford, and provides a message of strength to those facing struggles with mental health.
Mandy is creating intricate pen and ink works on segments of wallpaper, Gary will enter some watercolours, and Julie will present acrylic works inspired by her imagination.
Young interstate artists Hadaassah and Isaiah, who often join the group when visiting their grandmother, will also have works featured.
The gallery space is accessible 7am to 5pm Monday to Friday. Enjoy the most delicious pastries, coffees and teas whilst taking in the artwork.
