Join Kate Jenvey for a coloured pencil workshop where we’ll explore the vibrant beauty of Australian birds. With step-by-step guidance, you’ll learn techniques for layering, blending, and capturing fine feather details to bring your artwork to life. Perfect for artists who want to build confidence and develop their skills in a relaxed, supportive environment.

About the Artist

Kate is a realistic oil painter and pencil artist using nature for her inspiration. Her artistic interest began early as she grew to love and admire the magnificent wildlife that were an intrinsic part of her childhood years spent in East Africa. Her passion for Africa remains strong and influences much of her work today, with conservation issues often being the focus of her work to raise awareness.

Now living in Australia, Kate’s home and studio embrace a relaxed rural setting where many native birds and animals are constant visitors and are therefore often featured within her intricate pencil work and colourful paintings.

Where: Benalla Art Gallery – Patricia [Pat] Gardner Studio
