Abstract Watercolour and Mixed Media Workshop

Looking for relaxing things to do in Perth? Learn how to paint with watercolours, the perfect activity to do when you want to relax and feel calm.

Watercolour paint is very simple to set up and clean-up, has a quick drying time and works well with other art mediums making it very versatile. Adding inks, pens and stamps adds beautiful layers and creates beautiful unique art pieces.

Join this abstract watercolour and mixed media class and get introduced to process art. It's all about the journey of discovering and developing your creativity. It is an open-ended art activity which allows you to enjoy the process of creating without worrying about the final product.

Watercolour painting is a brilliant medium to help you slow down, unwind and nurture your inner creativity (yes, we all have it!) By adding mixed media you also get to explore creative expression which can help with managing stress and anxiety while boosting your overall wellbeing.

Guided by your teacher, experiment and explore different watercolour paints, tools and techniques including various other media to create a unique mixed media art piece. Come and enjoy the unpredictable flowing nature of the medium. It's the perfect way to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and find a moment of peace and tranquillity.
