25.01.2022 Lovely light this morning on our walk. It’s going to be a beautiful winter’s day #morningwalk #sunrise #winter #bluesky #shadows #lovemydogs

25.01.2022 A collection of artworks to celebrate World Elephant Day!

25.01.2022 Coming up next at Art Gallery on Ovens,Wangaratta

25.01.2022 ‘Rose’ is finished, she’s such a cutie, very loving and a great companion for her owner. A pleasure to draw her. #drawing #graphite #dog #dogsofinstagram #miniatureschnauzer #pencildrawing #katejenveyart

25.01.2022 So thrilled to hear that 'The Edge of Dusk' has been selected as a finalist in the 15th International ARC Salon Competition. Congratulations to all other finalists!

24.01.2022 To celebrate International Tiger Day I am sharing a drawing I did a few years ago called 'Vanishing', a piece I did to gain attention and support for tiger conservation. Another beautiful predator under extreme threat in the wild.

24.01.2022 Another terrific weekend with an online workshop inspired by 'Stripes, spots and patches'. Although most chose spots as their theme, we had a lovely collection of coloured pencils artworks being created, well done to all for their wonderful efforts.

24.01.2022 Finally got the paints out after drawing all through winter and did this fun little study using only the 3 primaries shown on the palette. Kept it loose and felt it worked well. Have you ever tried this? #painting #horse #limitedpalette #chestnut #allaprima #animalportrait #katejenveyart

23.01.2022 Friday December 4th was International Cheetah Day, a day to raise awareness for this beautiful wild cat that faces extinction with only around 7,000 left in the wild. I am so grateful to the many that work extremely hard to raise funds like the launch of this gorgeous book Remembering Cheetahs. Funds have already been distributed to much needed projects that help maintain healthy numbers in the wild. #internationalcheetahday #cheetahs #bigcats #endangeredspecies #africanwildlife

22.01.2022 Beautiful mist this morning and how unusual is it’s shape? Such a great moment to see on my morning walk. #mistymorning #morningwalk #autumn #sunrise #naturescharm

22.01.2022 Making nice progress on this one working the background in as I go. #drawing #colouredpencil #colouredpencilart #coloredpencil #coloredpencilart #polychromos #lion #africananimals #katejenveyart

22.01.2022 By using black paper instead of white, I'm enjoying the different dimension that the work takes on and also exploring some great textures like those found in this gorgeous elephant. "Matriarch" Coloured pencil on black paper, 12" x 9".

21.01.2022 Meg Sprouster’s beautiful and colorful exhibition is now on at Art Gallery in Ovens until Nov 9th. Please call in and have a chat. Open today 10-4pm.

21.01.2022 Today was our Autumn Paste Up in the lane way at Art Gallery on Ovens and in conjunction with @wanglaneways. My poster with ‘Autumn Fury’ is up ready to be joined by the other 11 artists. Drop by to see them all up. #artgalleryonovens #wanglaneways #pasteupart #art #horseart #katejenveyart

21.01.2022 I was meant to be flying out to Africa today with friends, so to console myself I put on my favourite African CD’s and began another large drawing of a lion. Really helped me feel better. #drawing #lion #africa #criedallday #studiohappyplace #katejenveyart

21.01.2022 When working on a large format drawing such as this one, this is when my homemade hand bridge is invaluable. It scoots over the drawing so that I can work back and forth and don’t smudge my work. #drawing #pencildrawing #graphite #handbridge #pencilartwork #lion #africananimals #africanwildlife

20.01.2022 My gorgeous daughter called in to the gallery today whilst I was on duty. Posing next to my painting ‘Autumn Fury’ the exhibition runs until August 3rd at Art Gallery on Ovens. #artgalleryonovens #horsepainting #horseart #exhibition #horse #visitwangaratta #autumn #lovemygirl #katejenveyart

20.01.2022 Having fun trying out different mediums and combinations. This one is carbon pencil and so far so good, very un forgiving though #workinprogress #drawing #tiger #trialanderror #art #pencildrawing #katejenveyart

20.01.2022 Checking anatomy and values in a mirror is vital in my drawing process especially with these large pieces, the final days in particular. Nearly done now! #workinprogress #drawing #graphite #africanwilddog #africananimals #valuesmatter #katejenveyart

20.01.2022 Perfect timing to come across this masked lapwing nest this morning on the first day of spring. #bird #birdnest #lapwing #springisintheair #spring #morningwalk

20.01.2022 Such beautiful clouds yesterday before the rainstorm. Love summer rains. #clouds #cloudpatterns #stormclouds #morningwalk #sunrise #startoftheday #naturewalk

19.01.2022 Still a bit of tweaking to do but he’s pretty much finished. I have only seen these cuties in the wild once in Namibia, such fun to watch. Charcoal in paper, 8 x 6. #meerkat #meerkatsofinstagram #charcoaldrawing #charcoal #africananimal #namibia #katejenveyart

19.01.2022 If you need a last minute gift idea for the artist in your life, I do have gift certificates available which can be used for a workshop of your choice. Please PM me if you are interested.

18.01.2022 From painting silos to canvases, Tim's versatility will be on display from Wednesday at Art Gallery on Ovens in his exhibition, Cognizant.

18.01.2022 We swung our efforts over to pastel for the last workshop and I was thrilled with the results. A few of the participants had never used pastels before and managed so well. The Indian in the headdress is in the likeness of Harley Brown, from his book.

18.01.2022 Amazing day out with friends in Mansfield visiting Tony Pridham’s newly opened art gallery showcasing his breathtaking art and wandering the stunning gardens. A must-see if you are heading to the high country.

18.01.2022 OPENING TODAY! RECAPTURED - a solo exhibition by Janet Leith. Exhibition opens this Friday, February 19th and runs to March 1st. https://www.artgalleryonovens.c...om/ https://www.janetleith.com/ @Janet.leith.artist See more

17.01.2022 Making good progress although slow going. I’m having trouble with the right side of her ribs so will leave it now for a few days and come back with fresh eyes. The spot shape is crucial to determining her anatomy so they have to be right. #drawing #leopard #colouredpencil #coloredpencil #africanwildlife #africananimals #workinprogress #katejenveyart

17.01.2022 Calling at the break of dawn I am often woken by this delightful early riser of the bird world and use their iconic laugh as my alarm clock. A new drawing for an upcoming group exhibition at Art Gallery on Ovens: 'Early Riser' Coloured pencil, 8" x 6".

16.01.2022 Charcoal was a great choice for last weekend's workshop with some fabulous art being created. So much wonderful creative energy flowing around the room!

16.01.2022 I’m happy to say ‘The Edge of Dusk’ has been juried in to the first International Online Exhibition for members of Society of Animal Artists. #societyofanimalartists #africanwilddog #endangeredspecies #drawing #wildlifeart #wildlifeartist #natureartist #natureart #katejenveyart

15.01.2022 Had enormous fun this weekend in our workshop using just the 3 primary colours. Most chose to use the primary subtractive colours of cyan, magenta and yellow and a few chose the regular primaries. Great results from all for day one. #colouredpencil #coloredpencil #artworkshop #drawing #3primarycolors #naturedrawing #arttutor #katejenveyart

15.01.2022 Finished! I enjoy wandering around rodeos and taking candid photos of the horses and people. I especially love the trouble the young girls go to to dress up their horses in the fancy western gear with the silverware, braids and embossed leather. "All Dressed Up" Polychromos on black paper, 12" x 9".

15.01.2022 Six new drawings framed and ready for our December Group Exhibition at Art Gallery in Ovens, Wangaratta opening tomorrow until Dec 23rd.

15.01.2022 This gorgeous girl is finished but not without a bit of difficulty, luckily it all came together in the end just needing extra patience and perseverance! My reference was a beautiful cat in a beautiful place. "The Tale of Two Sisters" 18" x 12" Coloured pencil on black paper.

14.01.2022 Wildlife artist @MaeganOberhardt paints with fire and creates amazing artwork. It was great to catch up with her in Bright, N E VIC today where she has her work on display along with active demonstrations this week. #wildlifeartist #natureartist #paintwithfire #australianwildlife #visitbright

14.01.2022 Start of a new coloured pencil drawing and this one will be a bit different as I’m going to add another medium. #colouredpencils #coloredpencils #polychromos #drawing #lion #wip #katejenveyart

14.01.2022 Delivered this drawing to Art Gallery on Ovens, Wangaratta for the new group exhibition 'Re-Group' which opened yesterday. Tonight is the opening where you can Meet the Artists from 5-7pm so if you are in the area, come along for a preview and a chat.

13.01.2022 There are so many wonderful media available to draw with that it can be loads of fun trying them out and mixing and matching with different papers. I’ve had these carbon pencils for years and have never done a complete drawing with them until now and so pleased I did! Fairly unforgiving but a lovely finish to them. ‘Tiger’ 8 x 11 #drawing #tiger #carbonpencil #wildlife #endangeredspecies #art #artworkinstudio #katejenveyart

13.01.2022 Drawing together but staying apart, another online drawing workshop underway and going well with endangered species as the subject. #artworkshop #arttutor #stayhome #drawing #pencil #colourpencil #graphite #endangeredspecies #katejenveyart

13.01.2022 Minus 1 this morning but that chill delivers beautiful subtle colours and a serene atmosphere, such a special time of day. #pelican #bird #australianbirds #earlymorning #morningwalk #nature #inspiration

13.01.2022 New exhibition on this week at Art Gallery on Ovens, Wangaratta.

13.01.2022 Great fun on the weekend pasting up posters of our autumn exhibition with Wanglaneways.

12.01.2022 I don’t do many commissions by choice but this cutie is for a friend and nearing completion. Graphite on paper. #workinprogress #drawing #dog #graphitedrawing #miniatureschnauzer #katejenveyart

12.01.2022 Society of Animal Artists - Spotlight Species- Magpie One of the most iconic images of the American west is the sometimes maligned but generally loved - the Magpie. There are actually several species of Magpies around the world. Here a few images buy our extremely talented and versatile artists. Enjoy!

12.01.2022 *SOLD* Thank you Myrtleford Gallery. These two drawings have found their forever home over Easter.

12.01.2022 Making my way down her back it’s slow going but she’s starting to take shape. Polychromos on black paper. #leopard #drawing #colouredpencil #coloredpencil #polychromos #africanwildlife #workinprogress #katejenveyart

12.01.2022 I enjoyed switching to some toned paper and working on this handsome lion with a little less detail after some intense drawing this week. Charcoal and conte pencil on toned paper, 12" x 9".

12.01.2022 A new exhibition opens today at the gallery from two of our talented artists, 3 Sep-21 Sept.

11.01.2022 A fabulous exhibition by one of our gallery directors on now at Art Gallery on Ovens.

11.01.2022 Last weekend's workshop produced some stunning portraits in pencil and each one raised a different emotional response from me. The artists worked very hard and were rewarded with great results.

10.01.2022 Shared today by the gallery in Namibia.

10.01.2022 Choosing the black paper again to explore some different textures and have chosen this lovely horse portrait with leather, metal beads and lovely horse features. Blocking in at this stage of work in progress.

10.01.2022 This drawing is stepping slightly away from the norm as I have added a sprinkling of coloured silver leaf and water to the background to explore something a little different. ‘Golden Light’ 11 x 8 Coloured pencil and silver leaf. #colouredpencils #colouredpencildrawing #coloredpencils #coloredpencildrawing #lion #polychromos #silverleaf #africananimals #drawing #katejenveyart

10.01.2022 Managed to finish another drawing in monochrome, an interesting exercise all round as you really get to know the depth of the colour and texture of the individual pencil, in this case the colour is sanguine. 'Sanguine Summer', Polychromos on Arches aquarelle, 8" x 8", my own ref.

09.01.2022 Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and thank you for all your support throughout the year!

09.01.2022 The time has flown and it is hard to believe that the gallery has been open for a year already! We are thrilled with the wonderful support we've had, especially through the tough restrictions and look forward to the coming year with continued enthusiasm in sharing our exciting exhibitions with our visitors.

08.01.2022 Finished and so happy that the last WIP was so well received. This gorgeous African Wild Dog was waiting with his pack, preparing to hunt in the evening to feed the pregnant alpha female and the pups. Within minutes of this moment, they sprang to life and were gone. ‘The Edge of Dusk’, graphite, 30 x 22. #africanwilddog #africananimals #africanwildlife #endangeredspecies #drawing #natureart #natureartist #graphitedrawing #katejenveyart

08.01.2022 Our next Resident Group Exhibition at Art Gallery on Ovens, Wangaratta is opening this Thursday 3rd Dec and will be celebrated on Friday night 5pm along with a Twilight Market in the Laneway. Hope to see you there.

07.01.2022 In keeping with the ‘Spots’ theme on the weekend, this is the start of a new drawing. Again using the Strathmore black paper and Polychromos, this piece is going to demand extra concentration! Spots and stripes are demanding at the best of times as they change shape according to the anatomy and have to be correct! #leopard #drawing #spots #colouredpencil #coloredpencil #blackpaper #blackpaperdrawing #africanwildlife #africananimals #katejenveyart

07.01.2022 The Autumn exhibition is on for only 3 more days, call in for a visit if you are in the area.

06.01.2022 'BeDazzled' prints have now arrived and as usual they have been beautifully done thanks to Citrus Graphics. This is a small edition giclee print, limited to just 25. Please contact me if you are interested.

06.01.2022 Janet is one of the other directors of our gallery and does beautiful figurative work.

06.01.2022 My favourite medium is graphite as it’s powerful in it’s simplicity. Which medium is your favourite? Some subjects lend themselves in particular to graphite and I felt this handsome lion was one of those and the loved the challenge of working in this large format. ‘A Sense of Place’, graphite on Arches aquarelle, 22 x 30. #drawing #graphite #pencil #graphitepencil #lion #artistsoninstagram #africananimals #botswana #katejenveyart

05.01.2022 Our new look website has been launched and now you can not only stay abreast of our upcoming exhibitions and news but see the exhibition online :)

04.01.2022 Work in progress- Spent most of the day on the second elephant’s trunk which still needs more work but taking shape now. Slow but enjoyable. #drawing #graphiteart #art #pencil #elephants #africanwildlife #africananimals #workinprogress #katejenveyart

04.01.2022 Some super work done through an online class on the weekend with the theme of endangered species which included the cute Australian numbat and a black-flanked rock-wallaby. Well done to all who participated.

04.01.2022 Happy New Year! As we usher out 2020 let's hope that 2021 brings in happier times. I am full of gratitude for where I live and the family, friends and FB friends that support me in so many ways, thank you it means so much. Please all take care and stay safe. A few favourites I created this year.

04.01.2022 To my pencil artist friends, Could you help me please? I am planning on creating an online course on 'How to draw animals realistically in coloured pencil' and I'm just in my research phase. I am just wondering, if you were to take this course, what questions would you hope or expect it would answer for you? Thank you so much for helping me!

02.01.2022 The Society of Animal Artist’s International online exhibition is now live and it’s a stunning collection of artwork from members who live outside the US and I’m honoured to be included. Link in comments, please visit the site. #societyofanimalartists #international #artwork #animalart #animalartists #africanwilddog #katejenveyart

02.01.2022 Opening tomorrow at the gallery, this will be a wonderful exhibition.

02.01.2022 The subject of the weekend’s online workshop was ‘The Wet Look’, an interesting theme to explore with coloured pencils. The participants chose their own subjects which provided a nice variety of wet natural objects, each with their own challenges. All did a fantastic job and I was again rewarded with great results. #drawing #colouredpencil #art #arttutor #artworkshop #natureart #katejenveyart

02.01.2022 Some exciting exhibitions coming up at the gallery!

Congrats to all who were selected. #contemporaryrealismart #drawing #animals #pencil #pencildrawing #pencildrawingart #africanwilddog #africanwilddogconservation #africananimals #endangeredspecies #katejenveyart

01.01.2022 For day 2 of the workshop the theme was to create a drawing using another medium with coloured pencil including graphite, charcoal, pan pastel and gold leaf. Thank you for the wonderful results!

01.01.2022 Work in progress but I can see light at the end of the tunnel at last! Have enjoyed every minute of this drawing but it needs to be finished, hopefully this week. #drawing #graphite #workinprogess #africanwilddog #africananimals #katejenveyart
