What you'll do
Laughing Kookaburras are the largest kingfishers in the world. They are native to eastern mainland Australia. They live in dry eucalypt forests, woodlands, city parks, and gardens. We will paint this beautiful bird with high-quality Winsor & Newton professional watercolour paints. Participants will learn wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry techniques. We will use both techniques to paint this Kookaburra and the background. The background is first painted with a mixture of colours on totally wet paper. Then we will focus on the Kookaburra details. With a lifting technique, we can add feathers and plumage.Artistic Facilitator: Ferie SadeghiFerie started her career as an interior architect and later as a graphic designer. Her background as a designer has given her strength in drawing, composition, perspective, and colour coordination. She loves the softness and the moodiness of watercolour; lately, she is also exploring other mediums like acrylic paint and alcohol inks.She exhibits her artworks regularly throughout the year. Recent awards are:
- a Highly Commended in the 2022 WSQ Annual Exhibition
- a First Prize in the 2020 The Australian Watercolour Muster
- a Third Prize in the 2019 EKKA exhibition
- a First Prize in the 2024 Brookfield Art Show

- 5/5 from Karen, attended Jul 2026: Teacher was knowledgeable. I enjoyed learning watercolour painting with Ferie. I liked how it was well resourced and comfortable.
- 5/5 from Sue McDonnell, attended Jul 2026: I really enjoyed this workshop to learn more about watercolour. Will be looking out for new workshops in future.
- 5/5 from Michelle Wagner - Payee -, attended Mar 2026: No occasion. I learnt about texture of products, use of products, techniques. The teacher was great, informative and easy.
- 5/5 from Nikki Herrick, attended Mar 2026: Really informative class. Ferie really explained the watercolour medium, how things work, colour mixing, technique and every step of the process. She was very hands on with her feedback as she went around inspecting our work. The critique was extremely helpful in learning this tricky medium. I hope to take more classes by her in the future.
- 5/5 from Kerrie Davis, attended Mar 2026: I learnt new techniques in watercolouring. The teacher was very knowledgable and patient, catering for all levels. It may be worth will putting on a class for beginners and they be taught the arresters of mixing different colours both on and off the page. Otherwise a brilliant morning had by all.
- 5/5 from Debbie Hiscock, attended Mar 2026: Relaxing fun workshop. Teacher was excellent but very quiet spoken which means half of us didn't hear a word she said. The area was sufficient for the number of people. Good lighting.
- 3/5 from Meryl Ferguson, attended Mar 2026: The teacher was lovely and the techniques were very helpful, but the intended outcome of the class was too advanced for a beginners class of only 2 hours.
