The workshop focuses on the development of key foundational techniques for illustration and watercolour, as well as taking the opportunity to slow down and paint mindfully. The children will be guided and supported whilst creating their own sea animal characters or sea life landscapes. 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 Amanda can offer one-on-one tuition for each student.

She is extremely passionate about creating whimsical images, filled with colour and imaginative compositions.  Amanda has Bachelor of Education (Primary) majoring in Visual Art.
