10:00 - 16:00

Level: Beginner and up

In this workshop, we will explore the beauty of sea shells and pebbles, painting primarily with watercolours while also experimenting with a range of other materials such as wax crayons, inks, pastels, and gouache. Along the way, you’ll discover a variety of textures and techniques, learning how different media can work together. These skills will come together as you create a striking circular artwork, using a harmonious colour palette.
