3 Days – Transitional Watercolour Workshop – From Woe to Go – Fish Lane Studios 18th to 20th May 2024

This Workshop is for Artists who have always been interested in Watercolour but who would like to discover more fluid options and conquer the medium – We will complete the 3 days starting with some beginning exercises and build up to a completed artwork or 2 by the end of the 3 days!

We have 3 ladies flying in from Melbourne for this workshop so there are only 3 public spaces available – if you miss out on booking this please contact us and we will look at doing more of these ‘intense’ 3 day options for you 🌞!

• At least 2 sheets Arches 300gsm fine grain Watercolour Paper, and
• 2 sheets Arches 300gsm rough Watercolour Paper
