9:30 - 3:30
Cost: $130 members

In this exciting new workshop we explore the three things I get asked about the most when people view my work. "Feathers, fur and vignettes!" We will work from the line drawing to the finished painting with the aid of a pre recorded video and I will share with you how to use Gouache and Watercolour combined to represent feathers and fur. Our subjects will be the Scarlet Robin and the Tassie Pademelon. The final part of each painting will be putting a scene behind , completing the vignette wash.

Have you ever wanted to capture mood and atmosphere in your watercolours? Or be able to capture the feeling of your subjects in a painterly way? I find the best way to start learning to paint this way is to begin with smaller subjects like flowers and animals. In this 2 day workshop, Leanne will guide you in learning to paint painterly animal portraits as well as loose lovely flowers. The skills you will learn in this workshop will not only enhance your development as a watercolourist it will also overflow into other painting genres such as landscape and portraiture
