What you’ll get: paper, paint and other materials if you wish; images and botanical materials for inspiration; an information sheet to take home; tea, coffee and snacks to energize you throughout the class.

About the Workshop: Join Gallery Director and abstract artist Madeline Young this for a relaxing workshop of playful watercolour exercises. This workshop is designed to be a stress-free session of learning and experimentation for beginners as well as those who have some experience. Join with like minded people in an inspiring and intimate setting and take some time out for yourself. Kids over the age of 8 welcome (ages 16 and under must be supervised by a parent or guardian).

Madeline will be guiding you through some basic abstraction techniques to get you warmed up to create your own pieces. This class focuses on the process rather than the outcome. We’ll start with some basic watercolour techniques followed by some composition and mark-making exercises with plenty of time at the end to experiment with your new-found skills.

“This workshop was great. Even though I'm experienced in using watercolours, I had never learnt the basics and this workshop actually taught me some very useful techniques such as how to set out a square of all the colours you can make with your palette. Maddie was an awesome teacher and created a really nice environment for us to work in.”
