With Julia Hardman
Day: Saturday 8 August
Cost: $140/ $120 NEAS Members

For beginners and intermediate painters
Painting with Watercolour will introduce participants to several basic techniques. In the workshop we will look at the preparation of paper ready for painting, how to control your brush and different methods of application and the mixing and blending of colour.
Julia’s favourite medium is watercolour paint for its versatility in all subject matter.
She taught Visual Art at secondary school level. As the education coordinator for New England Regional Art Museum school groups were introduced to exhibitions and practical art classes.
Exhibitions include WesWal Gallery Tamworth, NERAM and Currabubula as a watercolour demonstrator and exhibitor. Her home studio is a venue for group watercolour.
