About your Teacher - Emily Raubenheimer aka The Colour Keeper

Emily has been a full time practicing artist since the birth of her second child 4 years ago, she is represented by Jumbled and is active in the artist community of Central Victoria. She studied Fine Arts (Painting) at Monash University before teaching art for over 17 years in the education sector, she also was the co-founder and creative director/designer for a printed parenting magazine in Melbourne for 4 years and co-founded and ran The Artists Guild (a female focused gallery and Arts hub in Melbourne) for two years. Needless to say she is a busy woman!

Emily’s artist practice is inspired by the native flora around her from her home in Redesdale and her obsession with colour which informs everything she does. Emily is a passionate educator, and advocate for artists, and emphasises and encourages individual expression in all its forms by her students.

About the Painting Kit Required for the Class

Your painting kit includes a balanced palette designed to give you the most mixing options. You’ll need a warm and a cool version of each primary colour (yellow, red, blue). Emily has suggested names in Matisse Derivan and Amsterdam, but if you already have paints in another brand, that’s perfectly fine — just aim for a warm and a cool of each. Alongside the primaries, it’s crucial to have some key neutrals: Burnt Umber, Raw Sienna, Titanium White, Zinc White, and Buff Titanium. These will allow you to soften and balance your mixes, create natural light effects, and give depth to your paintings. With this set, you’ll be able to mix a wide range of colours, from clean brights to earthy muted tones, while learning how colour, light, and form work together in still life painting.

Apart from the 12 tubes of Paint you will also require: Synthetic Brushes (Suggested Sizes are; Long Liner Size 0, Flat Size 18, Flat Size 2, Round Size 0) & an Acrylic Pad (Suggested to be approx 400gsm and minimum of 10 sheets)

You have the option to purchase a Class Kit when booking, we have tried to make it as affordable as possible, it works out to $14 a tube for Amsterdam and a 15% discount on the rest of the kit.
