Get Ready to Wing It at Our Watercolour Bird-Painting Bash!
Hey, you! Yes, you with the coffee-stained notebook and the dreamy look in your eyes. Ever wanted to try your hand at painting in watercolour? Well, guess what? The time has come to spread those artistic wings - literally! Join us for a Watercolour Workshop that will have you tweeting with excitement.
What's on the palette for you:
  • Paint your very own feathered friend whilst learning all about the medium of watercolour.
  • Beginner-friendly environment and no drawing skills are required.
  • Did someone say caffeine? Oh yeah, we did! Tea & coffee facilities are available, just BYO lunch and water bottle.
Why should you be there?
  • I will guide you through every splash and stroke - no experience is needed, I’ve got your back.
  • Everything is provided: paint, paper, and brushes (but you can BYO brushes if you have some that you feel comfy with).
  • Mix and mingle with fellow fledgling artists.
Limited spots 'cause we like to keep it super-cosy.
Hurry, before they fly away!
What you'll get
  • Expert guidance and tuition through the process of painting a cute little female Splendid Wren amongst wattle flowers in watercolour.
  • You will be working from a photo reference, with painted examples. An outline will be pre-prepared so you can get paint faster (no drawing skills are required!).
  • You will have access to your own palette, a selection of brushes, premium paints and 100% cotton paper.
  • You'll have technique practice pages and a painting to take home!
Knowledge required
So long as you know which end of a brush is which, this class is fine for you! We welcome artists who have experience in other mediums but have never used watercolour before, people with a little watercolour experience hoping to gain some more knowledge, or more practiced artists who just want a creative day out with everything laid out for them.
What to bring
Lunch, a water bottle and your creative enthusiasm.

Polla Posavec

female Women-owned

With a maker for a father and a mother whose pockets were perpetually stuffed with foraged seeds, it's only to be expected Polla would end up as a creative inspired by nature.
​
An award-winning artist, Polla has a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Western Australia, studied interior design and has also worked for many years as a graphic designer and commissioned artist. She is a member of NAVA (National Association of Visual Artists) and the prestigious Watercolour Society of WA.
Inspired by the beautiful bush surrounding her Chittering home studio, Polla loves to express her enthusiasm for Australian nature by painting representational watercolours depicting "life close up" - still life, animals, birds and flowers. She loves to share her techniques in achieving her brand of realism through fun and informative workshops that demystify watercolour and make them accessible to all levels of artists. You'll hopefully leave her class armed with plenty of knowledge to move forward and a painting you'd be proud to frame.
