25.01.2022 A hot steamy morning with USK Brisbane (the weather, that is) - pen and quickish acrylic ink sketches of a couple of the local landmarks - lots of people, and I aimed at getting the street atmospherics - so humid I had to add shade later after paper dried #urbansketchers #BrisbaneAustralia #StonesCorner #liquitex #tonywstudios #Fabriano
25.01.2022 The Queensland Figurative Exhibition continues this week at Petrie Terrace Gallery Petrie Terrace Brisbane. Works are in various media. Mine is one of only a few watercolours selected, aimed to capture the action mood and culture at an exotic street festive event. It's well worth viewing the show and there's excellent art with a range of approaches and at a range of prices. #PetrieTerraceGallery #BrisbaneAustralia #QueenslandFigurative #RoyalQueenslandArtSociety #TonyWstudios
25.01.2022 Brisbane's Kangaroo Point from Emporium roof - pen and acrylic ink sketch - a unique view of Southbank and river looking east #urbansketchers #brisbaneaustralia #TonyWstudios #BrisbaneRiver #EmporiumHotel
22.01.2022 Two watercolour landscapes from my current exhibition 'Byways' which continues to October in the small and appealing Central Qld town Surat, one of the oldest towns in the State. These two paintings are from the spectacular escarpments of the Carnarvon Ranges and lake Nuga Nuga nestled between the Ranges in the very beautiful Arcadia Valley. Well worth a 'within Qld' few days excursion. #CarnarvonRanges #watercolour #Queensland #tonywstudios #suratqueensland #suratonbalonnegallery #Maranoa
21.01.2022 Pen sketch looking down Park Street Brisbane from Gregory Tce this (cold) morning with USK Anne Maree. Streets here slope down towards city centre through some period housing in Spring Hill, and there's a slice of the Story Bridge in this view. #UrbanSketchers #BrisbaneAustralia #SpringHillBisbane #acrylicInk #Liquitex #TonyWstudios #city

20.01.2022 A beautiful morning at the Regatta, an iconic landmark of Bris and Qld, and a great sketching subject presenting varied aspects and a lot of life. Plus - very OK coffee and breakfast! So lucky here in Queensland being able to get out and about to sketch ---------#brisbaneaustralia #liquitex #tonywstudios #urbansketchers #regattahotel

16.01.2022 Now there is an urban sketch workshop on 25 Nov evening, bookable online, associated with my exhib 'InSIGHT' at Fish Lane Studios which opens 20 Nov. I'm pleased to have sponsorship from Jasco in the way of Liquitex acrylic inks and Fabriano watercolour paper for the participants! #tonywstudios #southbrisbane #liquitex #Fabriano #queensland #fishlanestudios #Jasco #urbansketchers #artworkshop
16.01.2022 'Studio' - ink and watercolour on paper - my composition after the style of Peter Booth. The highly reputed Heide Museum of Modern Art is currently running 'at home' challenges. I'm very pleased this painting was selected to be one of those displayed online in the still life challenge in which the artist is to respect one of the early 'Heide Circle' artists. The history, exhibitions and activities of Heide are fascinating. Google Heide and find 'Heide at Home'. #Heideathome #watercolour #TonyWstudios
16.01.2022 In William St with USK Brisbane before the storm yesterday - acrylic ink on paper - Lots of urban interest there with the complicated Queens Wharf Multiplex construction (on the right Peter seated sketching) and the unique panorama across the river bridge to QPAC. Good to see the turnup of keen sketchers in the threatening weather.
15.01.2022 In 'The Valley' with USK Brisbane this morning - great location for mixed contemporary and period architecture with busy street life - pen and acrylic ink sketch in Parish House grounds, Holy Trinity Church #brisbaneaustralia #tonywstudios #acrylicink #liquitex #urbansketchers
15.01.2022 Point Arkwright Coolum yesterday - blown away, but otherwise a beautiful morning, and a half sheet sketch with a few rules broken.

13.01.2022 Went out to Dayboro to do a late afternoon townscape sketch and got wrapped in the Dayboro hills.
11.01.2022 Very pleased to say 'Nudgee Beach early' was awarded first in Watercolour section Royal Qld Art Soc Annual on Sunday judged by the eminent artist David Henderson. I aimed to pick up the feeling of the wide low-tide 'beach' flats and clouded early morn sky with people way out there. #watercolour #RQAS #BrisbaneAustralia #NudgeeBeach #TonyWstudios #SaundersWaterford #WindsorandNewton #seascape

06.01.2022 JUST OPENED - 'Byways - Maranoa and Beyond' exhibition now displayed at Surat-on-Balonne Gallery, Central Qld, dedicated to the region. This is the first time I have put together a large collection of my paintings and drawings from the region which has fascinated me ever since childhood visits to the Carnarvons. Many are plein air watercolours. Take a drive to Surat if you are lucky enuf to be in Q! Otherwise do a virtual! #RomaQueensland #SuratOnBalonneGallery #SuratQueensland #Maranoa #TonyWstudios #watercolour #acrylicink
05.01.2022 Definitely very chilly sketching in King Street this morning. Pen sketch and acrylic ink on paper. I invite the entire world to view my website TonyWstudios.com for more. King St Bakery, Cam's Cycles, Musette cafe and Kuhl-cher cafe and other spots all very busy despite weather and the BUG. #BrisbaneAustralia #KingStreetBrisbane #UrbanSketchers #Cams #Musette #TonyWstudios #Liquitex #Fabriano #Kuhlcher
05.01.2022 Old quarry near Surat - half sheet wcolour - such rich colours in the rock - I have quite a few plein air paintings from trip to Central Q last week - fab weather though frigid early mornings - country looking good with recent rains - tourists thin on the grass thanks to the bug. Will post a few from the trip due course. All go into my exhib in Surat Gallery in Aug. #watercolour #SuratAustralia #TonyWstudios #Maranoa #pleinair #AustralianLandscape
01.01.2022 Great morning for sketching with USK Brisbane at Roma St Parklands Sat morn. Many sketching options - I chose Station view. The scene seemed very colorful this morning -maybe the after effects of my exhibition opening. Fountain pen and acrylic inks on paper. #urbansketching #UrbanSketchersBrisbane #brisbanecity #RomaStreetStation #TonyWstudios #Liquitex #Fabriano
01.01.2022 Parish House Brisbane the subject for my urban sketch workshop last night at Fish Lane Studios Gallery. All enjoyed cruise through perspective theory, composition, subject selection, creative use of line, colour and values etc. Will use this pen plus acrylic inks technique in demo this Fri night at the gallery - or should I demonstrate more 'traditional' watercolour?? I like both approaches. #urbansketching #workshop #tonywstudios #urbansketchersbrisbane #liquitexaustralia #fabriano #brisbanecity #fishlanestudios
