This workshop aims to show you that you can water colour on anything if you know how! While we recommend that people joining this workshop have an understanding of the basics of water colour it is not necessary to join us. If you enjoy abstract style painting or want to learn new and interesting techniques to use in your painting this is the workshop we would recommend.
In this session you will get to trial and experiment with a wide range of materials, surfaces, and mediums without having to buy all of the expensive materials.
This workshop will include a take home kit of:
- Chinese calligraphy brush
- selection of artist quality papers and surfaces
- mini scroll to paint
- take home case
All materials will be provided in the session - however, if you have paints you wish to use you are welcome to bring them along as well! You will leave this session with practical material and technique guides made by you during the session. The focus of this workshop is on a more contemporary way of making art with watercolour. We encourage you to bring your creativity and playful experimenting energy along to this session!
The session will run for 3 hours with a short break for tea or coffee (provided on site cost inclusive). If you wish to bring a morning/afternoon tea snack please feel free to do so!
Workshop Outline:
- Difference between ink, gouache, and watercolour
- Traditional and alternative surfaces that can be used for watercolour
- Materials and equipment for alternative techniques
- Watercolour grounds and masking techniques
- Layering and mixing mediums
Where am I going and how to get to the workshop?!
The Rundle Collective Studios is located in Gawler Place near Rundle Mall. There is some street parking available but most is timed or paid. If you are lucky depending on the time you may have luck on Pirie or Flinders Street but this may be a bit of a walk for some attendees. We would recommend looking at the pre-booked undercover parking options near Rundle Mall for the best paid parking rate, or consider parking close to the city and using public transport to access the city if cost is a concern. The studio building is fully wheelchair accessible as we have an internal lift. We are on Level 2 and 3 of the building and you will need to have assistance from our team to access the building on the day. Don't hesitate to use our door bell or the contact number provided if you have any difficulties. Generally, the space is fairly quiet and sensory friendly - if you have any accessibility considerations you would like to discuss please feel free to contact us so we can ensure the event is adjusted accordingly.
The Event Spaces
There are two event spaces at the Rundle Collective - the smaller space on Level 2 and the larger space on Level 3. We will update you on which space we will be using based on the group size for the event. Both are able to be made private by shutting the door to the main artist studios. We have accessible bathrooms on both levels. We can also access the kitchen on level 2 as needed.
Have any more questions? Feel free to reach out to Bianca at any time on 0459 946 479 or send us an email if you prefer to
