‘Australian Birds’ Illustration & Watercolour Half Day Workshop
This is an illustration and watercolour watercolour with an ‘Australian Birds’ theme, designed for school children in Grades 5 to 7 and taught by Olivia York, a Melbourne-based artist and illustrator who specialises in watercolour Australiana illustration.
The workshop focuses on the development of key foundational techniques for illustration and watercolour. The children will be supported whilst creating their own Australian Bird characters.
