Nature & Wonder: Watercolour Landscape

Slow down, step outside and discover the wonder in the world around you.

Join Sydney artist Rachel Carroll at Mary MacKillop Place for a relaxed morning of creativity, nature and watercolour.

Surrounded by historic buildings, gardens and the peaceful grounds of Mary MacKillop Place, you’ll explore the art of watercolour landscape painting while taking inspiration from the beauty around you.

Inspired by the lives and values of Mary MacKillop and Fr Julian Tenison Woods, this workshop encourages you to pause, look closely and discover the natural world through creativity.

No experience is necessary. The workshop is suitable for complete beginners through to more experienced artists, with all materials provided, including professional 200gsm cold-pressed watercolour paper.

Morning tea is included, giving you time to enjoy a cuppa, meet others and take a relaxed break from the everyday.

The workshop begins shortly after the 10am Sunday Mass, so you’re welcome to start your morning in the beautiful Chapel before joining Rachel at the workshop.

Come and spend a morning at Mary MacKillop Place - slow down, create, and see the world through a little more wonder.
