Image: Brooke WHELAN, Group Birds
Thursday 13 April 10.30AM–12.30PM
In this workshop students will take inspiration from images of Australian birds including local native birdlife. Students will be led through a series of technical steps to create an acrylic painting of an Australian native bird of their choosing, on round boards. Participants will learn composition, colour mixing, fine motor and brush control and brush selection.
