Using a simple template, you’ll get a feel for lightening and darkening colour, mixing paint consistencies, and building confidence with brushwork and layered washes. Monday 16 February (Workshop 2) We’ll begin with a short revision of Workshop 1, then you will apply those learned skills to a small painting of either flowers or gum leaves. We’ll also learn how to change colour with overlapping washes, add detail, and experiment with some wet-on-wet watercolour painting. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/broadbeach/watercolour-foundations-half-day-workshops/100001978955359753 - **Event Categories**: art, workshops, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 3 hours - Location: Royal Queensland Art Society Gold Coast - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com.au%2Fe%2Fwatercolour-foundations-half-day-workshops-tickets-1978955359753 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 60, max: 120, currency: AUD ## Event venue details - **city**: Broadbeach - **state**: QL - **country**: Australia - **location**: Royal Queensland Art Society Gold Coast - **lat**: -28.0217479 - **long**: 153.4334158 - **full address**: Royal Queensland Art Society Gold Coast, 25 Broadbeach Boulevard, Broadbeach, Australia ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Annette Raff (https://allevents.in/org/annette-raff/27288655) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/33fb78c6e5b86cce2b4271d354a7c8a50ac98e98637c3b356e18f53eb3596450-rimg-w1200-h679-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1770965806 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/24442318498b8d94c345aab893c4b0f8d707569705ba9589a537a91023b2188c-rimg-w400-h400-dcf1edda-gmir.jpg?v=1766898331 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Mon, 09 Feb, 2026 at 01:15 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Royal Queensland Art Society Gold Coast, 25 Broadbeach Boulevard, Broadbeach, Australia - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 60 up to 120 AUD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Annette Raff - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** art, workshops, fine-arts - **Q**: What is the duration of the event? - **A:** 3 hours - **Q**: What is the location of the event? - **A:** Royal Queensland Art Society Gold Coast - **Q**: What is the languages of the event? - **A:** English - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Watercolour Foundations - half-day workshops ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Watercolour Foundations - half-day workshops", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/33fb78c6e5b86cce2b4271d354a7c8a50ac98e98637c3b356e18f53eb3596450-rimg-w1200-h679-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1770965806", "startDate": "2026-02-09", "endDate": "2026-02-09", "url": "https://allevents.in/broadbeach/watercolour-foundations-half-day-workshops/100001978955359753", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Royal Queensland Art Society Gold Coast", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "25 Broadbeach Boulevard", "postalCode": "4218", "addressLocality": "Broadbeach", "addressRegion": "QL", "addressCountry": "AU" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "-28.0217479", "longitude": "153.4334158" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "A series of half-day workshops for beginner watercolour painters", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "AUD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "2026-02-09", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "lowPrice": "60.00", "highPrice": "120.00", "price": "60.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/broadbeach/watercolour-foundations-half-day-workshops/100001978955359753" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/SoldOut", "priceCurrency": "AUD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "url": "https://allevents.in/broadbeach/watercolour-foundations-half-day-workshops/100001978955359753", "price": "60.00", "name": "Single 1/2 day (Mon 16 Feb only)" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/SoldOut", "priceCurrency": "AUD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "url": "https://allevents.in/broadbeach/watercolour-foundations-half-day-workshops/100001978955359753", "price": "120.00", "name": "Two x 1/2 days (9 &16 Feb)" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Annette Raff", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/annette-raff/27288655" } ] } ] ```
