Painting Day For Parent & Child

Our accomplished tutor Natasha will teach you and your little one how to paint a starry cityscape! All materials are included, and you each get to take home your own finished canvasses too.

Children should be aged 8-12, but chat to us if they’re slightly outside that age range!

TIME: 1pm – 3pm

COST: $97 (ALL MATERIALS INCLUDED)

These workshops are not for beginners. Please bring along your work and kit. Students must be aged 18+

Introduction To Watercolour

Come join our popular watercolour sessions with James McKay, and learn the tricks and techniques you need for successful painting!

In these sessions, you will learn:
• What are transparent washes, and how to use them
• How to control and enjoy the process of wet-in-wet painting
• How to use light and dark to create depth in your work
• What brush techniques you must know to work quickly and effectively
