ART REPUBLIC: NOVEMBER NEWS

October has been a wonderful month at Art Republic and we're anticipating that November will offer as many good times, if not more!

Read up below on what's up and coming at AR including our exciting Resin Workshop, our open and close times over the Melbourne Cup Day long weekend and a little bit of product advice that you're sure to find useful.

There's also a fun article about what a great time was had at the Derwent Workshop that was held in October.

Happy reading!

Suzanne from S&S Wholesale visited Art Republic in October to host a Derwent Pencil Workshop. This was an interactive, hands on event where participants learned about Derwent pencils and how to use the different types of pencils in the Derwent range to achieve various results. To see more about this fun event, have a look at our Facebook page and feel free to check out our extensive Derwent range online or in store.

Zest It Pencil Blend is great for blending coloured pencil, wax pencil and oil pastels without leaving residue on the paper.

Easily applied using a cotton bud or clean brush, it blends quickly and smoothly allowing additional layers of pencil to be applied over the top.

If you haven't used Zest It Pencil Blend before we recommend giving it a try. If you'd like to know more check it out on our website at: http://artrepublicmelbourne.com.au/zest-it-pencil-blend-liquid

Art Republic will be running a Resin Workshop on Tuesday 22nd November 2016 from 10.30am to 1.00pm.

Epoxy Resin is an exciting new medium used by acrylic artists to provide an impacting result to a painting or for abstract artists who are looking for unexpected and spontaneous results.

To participate, no prior experience or qualification in art is required, we'll teach you all you need to learn about how to prepare for, use and apply resin in this workshop.

Course cost is $120 per person including all materials for use on the day.

For more information or to register contact us on sales@artrepublicmelbourne.com.au or 03 9731 6000.

Art Republic will be closed over the Melbourne Cup Weekend including Saturday 29/10, Monday 30/10 and the Public Holiday of Tuesday 1/11. We'll be back open again at 10am on Wednesday 2/11 for business as usual.
