Children’s Australian Animals Watercolour and Gouache Workshop with Olivia York (School Grades 5-8)

Olivia will take students in school grades 5 to 8 through the fundamentals of sketching animals, watercolour painting and colours, before supporting students in creating an animal or bird character of their own.

The workshop focuses on the development of key foundational techniques for gouache and watercolour. Children will be guided and supported whilst creating their own artworks in this Children’s Australian Animals Art Workshop.

Suitable for all skill levels, this class is a good balance of the technical and creative. Olivia strives to help build creative confidence and technical ability. Places will be limited to ensure Olivia can offer one-on-one tuition for each student.
