Participants will be encouraged to develop a concept or narrative which they will then illustrate. Olivia York, a Melbourne-based artist and illustrator who specialises in watercolour Australiana illustration will then guide students towards developing the concept into a visual composition. Olivia will also direct students as to how to use multiple source images to construct and develop an image.

This is a stand-alone 2 hour workshop, which focuses on imparting an illustrator’s mindset of setting clear objectives, planning and implementation of the work using watercolour.

Suitable for all skill levels, this workshop is a good balance of technical and creative exploration. As a professional practicing artist and illustrator, Olivia strives to help build creative confidence and a sense of possibility in her students.

We maintain small class sizes to ensure Olivia can offer one-on-one tuition for each student.
