The workshop focuses on the development of key foundational techniques for illustration and watercolour. The children will be guided and supported whilst creating their own paintings in watercolour. Anna aims to build confidence and help students experiment with techniques that are discussed and demonstrated during class. Suitable for all skill levels, this class is a good balance of the technical and creative.

Students will experiment with techniques that are discussed and demonstrated during class and will have the opportunity to use them in an artwork they create. Places will be limited to ensure Anna can offer one-on-one tuition for each student.

Anna is an experienced art educator, having worked in both Primary and Secondary schools. She holds a First Class Honours degree in Fine Art and a Graduate Diploma of Education as well as a Master’s of Fine Art. She is a practising artist specialising in botanical watercolour painting and has been represented in exhibitions such as The Art of Botanical Illustration at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Melbourne. Anna also works as a freelance artist and illustrator and has been awarded several prizes and scholarships, including the Galloway Lawson Acquisitive Prize for Painting.
