Art Retreat: Full Day Watercolour Pencil and Ink Workshop

Treat yourself to a restorative morning of calm and creativity while learning the art of watercolour pencils



6 hours Class size 1 to 12 guests    

  $175 (Afterpay available)

This morning art retreat will not only guide you through all the skills you need to create your own botanical watercolour artwork, but it will also be a calm escape from your everyday world. Don't worry if you are a complete beginner; you will be guided through the step-by-step process of using watercolour pencils to create a beautiful botanical artwork. All materials are provided, so you can just sit back and enjoy time to create, reflect, and connect with like-minded people in a peaceful setting.
If you already have some skills, then bring all your favourite materials and enjoy the luxury of spending a whole day crafting an artwork of your choosing. Everyone works at their own pace and at their own level with guidance from your teacher, Tania, who is a practising botanical artist and teacher.
During the class, you'll work with high-quality watercolour materials and learn how to blend colours with black pen to capture the intricate details of flowers and leaves. You will start with simple and fun exercises to build your confidence. Then you focus on creating a single artwork to take home.
So come along and immerse yourself in the joy of watercolour pencils, practise creative mindfulness, and slow down as you observe the beauty of the botanical world around us.

  • 5/5 from Julia Dekenah, attended Jun 2026: Tania communicated technique clearly and demonstrated well. She was supportive and encouraging without being patronising and gave constructive feedback. I left feeling empowered to continue my novice art journey because she taught us about materials, how to source them and gave us tips on how to continue learning on our own.
  • 5/5 from Rowena Mackiewicz, attended Jun 2026: Lovely day of drawing and painting in a relaxed setting. Tania was very knowledgeable and gave just the right amount of support. I will do another of her classes for sure!
  • 5/5 from Tara Mathews, attended Apr 2026: A beautiful meditative class which has inspired me to keep going at home! Big thanks to Tania for being such a patient and attentive teacher.
  • 5/5 from Melinda Ashley, attended Apr 2026: Tania is a great teacher. We tried out lots of activities and then were able to choose what artwork we wanted to create. There was lots of flexibility during the class and many options and Tania was supportive throughout. I really liked the piece I made. The art space was also peaceful and relaxing.

Tania has been drawing since she was a little girl. Always dragging around a bag of coloured pencils and paper.
As an adult, she completed a Diploma in Art Education and then Fashion Design. After a successful career in both, she is now a qualified art teacher and practising botanical artist. Tania's amazing botanical art is all hand-drawn with a fountain pen and the blackest ink on archival rag paper.
Tania loves sharing her creative botanical passion with others. It doesn't matter if you have never picked up a pencil before or if you already have some drawing skills - Tania's classes are perfect for anyone who wants to share in the joy, fun and delight of learning to draw botanical flora.
