Australian Waterfalls Oil Painting Workshop
3 hours
Darlinghurst

What you'll do
Join us for a relaxing oil painting workshop inspired by the cascading beauty of Nigretta Falls, a striking multi-stream waterfall set within the volcanic plains of western Victoria. This will be a safe, solvent-free oil painting class as we will use professional water-mixable oils of the Winsor & Newton Artisan line, allowing full oil richness and blending power while avoiding harsh solvents, perfect for studio or shared spaces. Guided by our experienced instructor, you’ll follow step-by-step demonstrations to explore how to capture the dramatic fall of water as it tumbles over ancient rhyolitic rock ledges into the Wannon River valley, surrounded by tranquil bushland and natural ambience.During the workshop, you’ll learn warm underpainting and alla prima techniques, beginning with a warm tonal base and working wet-on-wet to capture mood and light. You’ll simplify composition by breaking down water, rocks, foliage, and reflections into clear shapes and tonal blocks for stronger structure. You’ll also learn to mix colours for water, rock surfaces, and bushland atmosphere while using contrast to define solid and flowing elements. Techniques to convey water movement, sparkle, and the weight of the falls will help you translate the dynamic beauty of Nigretta Falls into your own expressive oil painting.Whether you’re a complete beginner or an intermediate painter refining your skills, you’ll gain confidence in simplifying complex scenery, mixing natural colours, and building depth, light, and movement in oil. You’ll leave with a finished piece that captures the energy, atmosphere, and serenity of Nigretta Falls.This Waterfall Oil Painting Workshop is part of Eckersley’s ongoing mission to inspire creativity and bring people together through art.

Recent reviews of Australian Waterfalls Oil Painting Workshop
- 5/5 from Elizabeth Salisbury, attended Oct 2026: Zoe’s classes are always sensational. Perfect pace, perfect amount of instruction and great atmosphere on the room. Highly recommended.
- 5/5 from Brittany Lilly, attended Oct 2026: Zoe was great, very talented and provides individual instruction unprompted and as requested. We were painting a waterfall landscape which looked super difficult but came together nicely if you just trust the process. We enjoyed interacting with everyone and seeing their different interpretations.
- 4/5 from Sandra P Robberds, attended Oct 2026: The subject matter was complicated from the point of view of drawing and choice of colours, explanation of the qualities of the type of paint (oil paint), selection of brushes. There was a lot to learn. There were 7 students in the class which was a good number. In fact all the students were conscientious and wanting to learn so there was not unnecessary chatter! Zoe our teacher was clear in her suggestions and helpful in her comments. Various handouts were helpful. The Step by Step Guide was very helpful - the illustrations and the comments included. The palette guide was helpful. The 'reference guide' was helpful. Thanks for this workshop. I have been to a few Eckerley workshops and I always find them beneficial. Sandra Robberds
- 5/5 from Joan (Jo) Murphy, attended Jun 2026: I met my niece and we did the workshop together. Then we went to the Archibald. Great atmosphere. Great students. Great experience.
- 5/5 from Carolina Peters, attended Jun 2026: Great workshop with clear instruction, motivation and encouragement. Learned a lot which I hope will help me create better works
- 5/5 from Tina Peng, attended Jun 2026: I had great time and the teacher was very encouraging for creativity
