watercolour workshop at Byron at Byron

For this workshop we started with a walk along the boardwalk, through the forest and out to the lake. The group took some photos to use as references, and embarked on their watercolour adventure. It is amazing what happens when you allow yourself some time to explore your creative ability! We enjoyed observing light and shadows, reflections, colour and texture. Inspiration is right in front of you, and inside you!

Fun with collage

A great activity for a rainy day, this group of corporate professionals explored another aspect of their creative potential to think outside the square.

Brunswick heads Sketching

Autumn is the best time to take your sketchbook for a walk. Gather a few friends and contact me to break out of your comfort zone and learn to draw. A great birthday gift for a friend or for yourself.
