upcoming workshops : painting landscapes in pen and watercolour

Painting landscapes in pen and watercolour.

In this one day workshop we’ll learn about aerial perspective, how to paint some different skies, trees, mountains and water. We’ll complete a couple of small paintings in the morning, painting step by step with me. Then you’ll work on your own painting in the afternoon (with lots of guidance from me).  

Paints, paper and pens will be provided if you need them.

Course cost is $90.
Maximum number of people is 8, minimum is 4.

Location : Wanaka Arts Centre. 28 March 2020. 10am to 4pm.
UPDATE : CANCELLED! :-( New workshop date will be organised when we are no longer in lockdown.

A free lesson for you!
