Botanical Blue Gums: An Introduction to Watercolour

Enjoy a relaxed afternoon in our vibrant new Bukatila Studio, using premium watercolour materials to paint detailed blue gum leaves and blossoms, guided by watercolourist Hayley Carpenter. This workshop for adults is generously paced to allow for experimentation and one-on-one guidance. You'll leave with your own, personal rendition of the iconic native flora to frame or gift.

Hayley is a south Australian watercolourist and owner/creator of portraitsbyhayley. A multi-disciplinary artist, she initially trained as a glassblower at UniSA graduating with a Bachelor of Visual Arts, Honours. After having her daughter in 2019 she picked up the brush again and found a passion for watercolour. Hayley is primarily a commission based portrait artist but has recently debuted in her first solo SALA exhibit UP/DOWN; and everything in between. Interested in both contemporary realism and illustration she is constantly exploring the boundaries of watercolour; a notoriously challenging but beautiful medium. Luminosity and layer building are prevalent throughout all her work.

Bukatila Studio is located at the rear of Hahndorf Academy, access is via the carpark, adjacent to Balhannah Road.
