Umina Beach artist Tez Dower is looking to donate an artwork to a good cause.
“I do oil painting plein air – which is outdoor oil painting (just as) Monet and Arthur Streeton did,” he said.
“I’m trying to promote this awesome hobby of getting out in nature and painting what you see in front of you.
“It’s a very priceless and satisfying feeling.”
To spread the joy of outdoor painting, Dower does a YouTube presentation where he films himself searching out sites and in the process of completing an artwork.
He also won the recent 5 Lands Walk art prize in the open competition.
“I was humbled and grateful for that prize,” he said.
Now Dower wants to work on a large painting to be donated to a worthy cause as a raffle prize.
