1 Day Watercolour Workshop with Ted Dansey @ Woods Street Arts Space
Ted Dansey
Ted is a member and former General Manager of the Victorian Artists Society, a member of the Watercolour Society of Victoria and a member of the Hobson’s Bay Art Society.
He has been a practicing artist for most of his working life, being one of the lucky people who managed to combine artistic talent with work.
Starting his working career as a ticket-writer and sign-writer Ted moved into graphic design and illustration when the opportunity arose. He held a key role as Creative Director & Senior Designer with the State Government of Victoria and the Premiers Private Office before being sought after as Production Manager/Art Director for a leading Victorian Media Company (Leeds Media/Starcom Worldwide).
He studied watercolours with David Taylor in the early nineties and watercolour has remained his favoured medium since.
What better medium for a dreamer than Watercolour! ... you might say it discovered me! And, 35 years later it's still my master...
Drawn towards an impressionist approach to painting, some of Ted’s favourite role models include John Singer Sargent, Edward Seago, Harold Herbert and R. W. Sturgess.
He has had fifteen solo exhibitions since 2000 as well a number of group shows with artist friends including '5';. A group born out of night of quiet drinks in 2009. Ted believes that this s the most exciting and fun group he has been involved with.
Ted has won a number of First Prizes and Commendations in various Art Shows including
Ted was made a Fellow of the Victorian Artists Society in 2011 for his contribution to the Society and Art.
We are proud to have Ted as a valued member of Hobsons Bay Art Society!
