The magic of painting outside - watercolour workshop

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

I teach a range of skills that will help you head out on your own with confidence.
We'll sketch mountains, lakes, and buildings and you'll go home with many completed sketches.

$250pp. Maximum 6 people.
You will need your own materials.

Please note ... painting outside is weather dependant! If the weather turns out to be unsuitable, this workshop will take place at the Wanaka Arts Centre, with time venturing outside as much as we can.
