Advanced Watercolour Workshop - Materials, Mediums, Surfaces

This workshop aims to show you that you can watercolour on anything if you know how! While we recommend that people joining this workshop have an understanding of the basics of watercolour 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

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 are usually using the larger space on Level 3 unless it is a private booking. 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 YmlhbmNhICEgaG9mZnJpY2h0ZXIgfCBnbWFpbCAhIGNvbQ==
