Painting Native Birds with Watercolours

Come and meet local artist Rebecca Prince who will guide you through how to observe and paint some of the common but beautiful bird species that inhabit South Australian backyards. The workshop will cover basic watercolour and drawing techniques, how to make observational sketches, documentation of what you see and how to compose a final artwork from your observations.

This workshop is funded by Technology for Ageing and Disability SA Inc (TADSA) and is therefore offered at a heavily discounted price.
