What you'll do
Please note: if booking within one week of the workshop, your kit may not arrive in time for the live session, however, you will still receive the recording to playback whenever you like.
From the tropical Daintree Rainforest to our own backyard gardens, there’s a myriad of Australia’s own native fluttery friends that are begging you to paint them!
In our newest exciting watercolour workshop, you’ll learn some cool, creative and fun techniques to paint some of your favourites from sweet Blue-Banded bees, flamboyant Ulysses Butterflies, alluring ladybirds and elegant Tiger Dragonflies; what a wonderful celebration of Australia’s own beautiful little fauna (yes – we never knew a blue bee existed either!)
Watercolour and its loose, fluid style is a beautiful skill to learn, and our workshops are a perfect introduction to this gorgeous medium, even if you’ve never tried it before.
Join Aussie illustrator Carlie Edwards as she first guides you in a practice session on mixing colours, brush techniques, layering, special effects and how to add detail to your final piece. Then the fun begins; choose from a range of insect templates included in your kit to create two of your own masterpieces during the workshop.
Enjoy playing with vivid colours to bring our well-loved fluttery friends to life, as Carlie walks through a simple painting and a more advanced painting. Choose to follow along step by step, or get creative with your own colour combinations.
We love that everyone’s results are always unique, and this workshop encourages creative expression to have fun with whatever colour choices you like!
You'll be equipped with a myriad of new skills to "wow" your friends with a beautiful handpainted card or gift, or create some gorgeous new artwork to frame on your wall!
Pour yourself a glass of something delicious and get comfortable to enjoy this mindful painting activity. You'll get lots of help throughout the class to ensure you get the most out of your experience and produce a lovely piece of insect artwork to be proud of.

Wendy Ducat • Aug 2021
Loved it thank you! The box was great and so enjoyed your thoughtful tips and the step by step support. Only thought is a little more time giving one to one feedback - probably a bit challenging via zoom and because the class is action packed. Thanks again Carlie

I loved this class. It really is therapeutic whilst in lockdown. Learnt new techniques and created 2 lovey artworks to be proud of. Carlie is a wonderful teacher. I have booked into all her classes and look forward to the next one.

I loved today’s class with Carlie, she is a fabulous teacher who is incredibly generous with her knowledge.
Fran Cane • Aug 2021
My friend and I really enjoyed this workshop, it was well structured and created two beautiful creatures. Having the recording of the session is a bonus as it means we can keep practising to develop our skills. Thank you
Danyel Herbert • Aug 2021
Mum and I joined this class as a lockdown activity and it was wonderful! I already had the all the materials and even though we had different brands of paint, it was still very easy to follow. My mum, who’s self described as “not creative”, had a lot of fun and I did see a fun creative side to her. We both throughly enjoyed the class and would recommend to anyone that asked.

Mei Ho • Mar 2021
Carlie was fantastic - engaging, fun and very patient. Most of all we learnt lots of new techniques and caught the water colour bug. A fun session!
Nicole Ninness • Feb 2021
Loved the online class, sorry I had to leave a little early. I’m definitely looking forward to the birds. A longer pre recorded class involving more detail on the insects which I could work on at my own pace, I would be very interested in.
