Come and join Artist Wyn Vogel in her new space – relax for a day discovering how to manage your Watercolour – how to create vibrant washes across your paper and generally enjoy a day with friends and new artists – only space for 12 – so don’t wait!

Wyn’s tools are unique and given this – we have stocked some of these tools and materials in the Studio so you don’t have to stress finding your materials – Brushes | Paints and Paper are all available to buy in Studio ….. at your fingertips – EFTPos welcome!

What Will We Paint?

Wyn will work through some basic steps to get you to loosen up and discover how she manages her water and pigment – she will step by step demonstrate for you and then you will be able to explore with her guidance – or take your own tangent and discover how these materials work for you – ask questions and generally enjoy the feeling of finally being in control – but managing to let your brushes produce some lovely fluid results on your paper!

We will then explore – the groups choice of a floral or landscape subject to test out the new found skills!
