You will learn how to paint the feathers with different shades of colours and create that wispy red crest.Artistic Facilitator: Ferie SadeghiFerie started her career as an interior architect and later as a graphic designer.

Recent reviews of Gang Gang Cockatoo Watercolour Workshop
- 5/5 from Sue McEwan, attended Jul 2026: This was my first watercolour class and it was fantastic. Ferie was a great teacher showing us different techniques and colour mixing. There were 10 in the class and Ferie was able to get around to everyone to help and explain. The subject of the Gang Gang Cockatoo was lovely and I’m pleased with my ‘beginner’ result.
- 5/5 from Christine Dildine, attended Jul 2026: I Thought the painting looked fabulous, so I thought I would come along and see how the class was. I was very impressed, Ferie was a very good teacher and I learned some new techniques. The Lutwyche store is a great shop, so it was a nice place to do a class. All in all I was so happy that I tried one of Eckersleys classes, and I will certainly be doing more. All in all a great class.
- 4/5 from Megan Lawson, attended Jul 2026: We did a lovely Gang Gang. Teacher demonstrated the techniques well and was friendly and helpful. You are given all the materials you need and they are high quality. Teacher allowed us to stay longer at the end. Enjoyed this class.
