Jocelyn Maughan Patonga NSW Contemplation graphite As a figurative artist I was trained in the early 1950s in the then 5 year full time diploma of fine art specialising in painting at the technical college Darlinghurst now known as the National Art School. This was a mainly figure based course, painting and drawing the human nude, portrait painting and figure composition and design. I continue to both employ models, paint portraits and attend a life drawing session every week. I enjoy observation but I also enjoy seeing beyond the surface to better express the subject. I also enjoy selective composition and design I have been a regular exhibitor in many competitions and I am an exhibiting member of the Australian Watercolour Institute
