Aratoi are kicking off the New Year with a fabulous painting demonstration by Tatyana Kulida.

Tatyana Kulida's exhibition Wairarapa Felt is currently showing in the Main Gallery; an exhibition full of flowers, fruit, interesting objects and landscapes.

In this demonstration, she will demonstrate how to set up, compose and build a painting from life. She will explain how she starts the work considering how the lighting informs the story and how to achieve unity in the image.
