Level: Beginner/Intermediate/All levels

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 Australian Animal characters. 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.
