What’s it all about?
Watercolour is a fun, fresh and flexible medium with heaps of contemporary applications. We will learn the basics of watercolour paints and how to create fun, simple and contemporary images.
What we will cover?
This beginner’s painting class will focus on using watercolour and illustration skills. We’ll first start with a bit of colour theory and mixing watercolours. Then we’ll learn how to use the brushes to create different strokes ready to create your nature watercolour.
What will you need?
- Paper – Ideally watercolour paper, but don’t worry if you don’t. Any thick paper will do.
- Watercolour
- Brushes
- Flowers, leaves or a nice plant you have at home.

Chantelle is interested in environmental issues; currently working on a side project to develop and regenerate our Australian homeland through a ‘plant and party’ concept.
