"Nothing excites me more than when a student comes to me having never picked up a paint brush. They do my classes and develop a skill, an envious talent, a passion they never knew they had!"

Guest Tutor and Plein-air Master
Herman Pekel
Charismatic, entertaining and passionate about painting, Herman's workshops always book-out quickly.
Herman's only Queensland Workshops - Don't miss this one...
"Born in Melbourne in 1956 to Dutch parents, Herman showed an early interest in art which led him in his youth to studying plein-air (open air) oil painting with Roger Webber, Ernest Buckmaster and Lance McNeill. The raw experience of working (respectively) with them on location brought to the fore his passion for the “freedom of spontaneity” and the rigour of speedily capturing the fleeting glow and illuminating impact of subtle shifts of light across the landscape.
n 2004 he won the Camberwell Rotary Art Show’s Best Oil, in 1989, 93 and 95 he won the Camberwell Rotary Watercolour prize, in 1989 he received the Camberwell Rotary Travel Scholarship, he won the Alice Bale Award in 1989 and 1993, and has won many other awards.
In 1994 Herman was invited by the National Taiwan Art Institute to participate in a book and travelling exhibition of selected artists from Australia, USA and Taiwan. His paintings are featured in Australian Impressionist and Realist Artists by Tom Roberts, 120 Years of Watercolourists, by the Australian Realist Artists, Artists and Galleries of Australia and New Zealand by Max Germaine and Profile on Contemporary Watercolourists.
He is a member ‘The Twenty Melbourne Painters Society’, ‘Australian Guild of Realist Artists’ and the Victorian Artists Society. He is in numerous private and public collections nationally and internationally. " (credit: Jenny Pihan Fine Art)
