In this workshop you will learn the basics of watercolour painting in a series of dynamic exercises designed for beginners. Watch the red rock wall of Simpsons Gap turn a deeper red as the sun sets, hear an orchestra of birds sing from the tops of the river red gum trees, tune in to the peace of this special place which is an important spiritual site for the local Arrernte Aboriginal people. On the short walk into Simpsons Gap your guide will point out flora, fauna, and some important features of the landscape. You will pick a few features to focus on during the watercolour painting workshop, including river red gum trees, rock formations, and, if we’re lucky, Rock Wallabies. The watercolour painting workshop starts with a basic introduction to the medium, followed by some fast paced drawing & painting exercises, finishing with a freeform longer painting where you can combine things that you’ve learnt to make a masterpiece that you will be proud of. The class is suitable for beginners and people with painting experience. All painting materials are provided. Pick up and drop offs from Alice Springs are included.
