Watercolours at sunset: Painting together on the beach

Join us for a fun and reflective way to end the day - drawing and painting together on the beach. This partly guided activity is suitable for beginners who want to learn how to capture a scene, use some basic watercolours and immerse in a sunset. Jessica Wilson, Coordinator of Nature Education in NPWS will help lead you through a 'pen and wash' technique. If you are a more experienced painter, please join us with your own paints so we can enjoy art and nature together. 

Who is this event for?

May be suitable for children ages 10+. Children must be supervised by a parent or guardian.
