Create and build you knowledge of the beauty we find in our native – Australian Flora

Australia’s unique Flora has an earthy colouring and hidden beauty that needs to be considered closely – this Workshop would work for both locals and visitors to our beautiful city of Brisbane!

Learning from the mixing of the colour palette in Workshop 1 – you will be in a good position to take the colours of our Coastal Banksia and Flowering Gum Trees to create a magnificent memory of your night on the Kangaroo Point cliffs!
Workshop 3 – evening Monday – 18th March ’19 – 6 to 8pm – join us:

Workshop 2: Build Your Sky – Learn Urban Painting Techniques – Working with a view across the Brisbane River to the CBD
Come 1/2 hour early if possible – and we will sit and sketch as the sun goes down from the top of Kangaroo Point Cliffs – and then withdraw to the St Mary’s Parish Hall to work on your washes!

Only 2 hours – but if you find this Workshop helpful – we can organise a more in-depth Workshop for you over a Saturday or a Wednesday – perhaps in agreement with the ‘Kangaroo Point Painters’ who still meet on a Wednesday in the Church Hall!
