Discover the joy of watercolour painting as you explore landscapes that hold special memories. This workshop invites you to bring a photo of a meaningful place—a favourite beach, childhood garden, local park, or holiday view—and translate it onto paper using foundational watercolour techniques.
You will learn basic skills such as washes, gradients, lifting paint, and playful mark-making to create skies, water, trees, and texture. No prior experience is needed, making this a perfect creative outlet for adults looking to try something new.
Enjoy a relaxed and supportive environment guided by a qualified art therapist who will help you unlock your creativity and connect with the places that inspire you.
This session is designed for adults aged 16 years and over and runs for two hours. You will be guided step-by-step through the process of painting a landscape from your photo, focusing on the fluid and spontaneous nature of watercolour.
Bring your inspirational photo either on your device or as a printed image. The workshop fee is $8.50, and bookings are essential to secure your spot.
