The Magic of Painting & Sketching Outside

8 & 9 December 2018 (8am to 3pm)
$300pp, max 5 people.
Location : Wanaka, New Zealand.

I have had a number of people asking if I will be running painting classes this summer. Yes I am! Here are details of the first one 😎

In this 2 day workshop I will be covering watercolour painting and pen drawing techniques, the tricks of aerial and linear perspective, how to choose a subject and composition.

I will teach you a range of skills that will help you head out on your own with confidence

We'll sketch mountains, lakes, trees and buildings and whatever else catches our eye, and you'll go home with many completed sketches and paintings.

Contact me for more details or to book your spot.

UPDATE : 28 November 2018. December workshop is full. Next workshop 12 & 13 January 2019.
