Capturing backyard birds in watercolour: native bird quick sketch journaling

Reconnect with your local bird community and learn how to study them in the form of quick journal sketches.

In celebration of Bird Week, join me for a fun, hands-on workshop dedicated to painting some of our local bird species, especially the ones we see everyday in our own gardens. Birds in the spotlight will vary from more common species to the not so commonly seen. The class will entail demonstrations as well as hands on activities geared to get you acquainted with quick sketching and wash techniques in a supported environment. There will also be some information on how to support your local birds through garden design.

After the class you will have the option of seeing my onsite studio space, where I currently paint all my birds and sell birdie paraphernalia and artwork. As part of October and in the lead up to Bird week, a percentage of my studio sales proceeds will be donated to birdlife Australia to help in the fight against Bird flu.

Details:

• Skill level: Perfect for those with some basic pen and wash experience as well as for the absolute beginner willing to give it a go.

• Ticketing options: Choose a Materials Included ticket to have everything provided for you, or select BYO if you prefer to paint with your own supplies.

Spaces are strictly limited to ensure individual feedback, so grab your ticket today to avoid missing out.
