Explore the fundamentals of the watercolour medium. Participants will learn about key watercolour techniques, such as dry/wet-on-wet and layering, brush manipulation, and colour theory. This workshop is ideal for beginners with little or no experience in the watercolour medium. Participants will leave with their experimentations and a resolved artwork exploring local connections to the Nepean River and lower Blue Mountains region.

Drawing with Nature
Sunday 23 March, 10am – 3pm
With Clare Delaney
Immerse in the shapes, colour, light, smells, sounds and textures of the garden, we will make our own drawing tools from materials collected from the garden, and play, and experiment with naturally made inks, as well as charcoal and graphite, to capture the essence of this amazing garden. Building on our experiments with natural materials we will work on bringing different marks, shapes and textures together in one finished work.
Tickets | $140 per person
