Modern Watercolour Botanicals Workshop

Explore botanicals in this immersive workshop ideal for anyone interested in painting or observing flora. An informal beginner's workshop examining botanicals using watercolour and imagination. This workshop will blend classic and contemporary techniques.

Beautiful and fragile, flowers are some of nature’s finest works of art. They vary in size, colour, opacity, and shape, all impressive in their own individuality. Crafting your own artwork can be equally fragile and give results that are just as beautiful.

In this three-hour workshop, you will observe a range of different images, flowers and foliage to bring them to life in your own artwork. You will learn techniques for working with watercolours.

 

About the Artist Educator

Alana is a passionate, award-winning, multi-skilled artist based in rural Central Queensland.  Immersing herself in the region’s diverse landscapes ensures inspiration for her trademark watercolours is never far away.

Alana enjoys painting the natural environment in a realistic way, but with flair.  Her favourite subjects include flora and fauna and the Australian rural landscape, seascape and urban scape.  By exploiting the drama and ephemeral qualities of light, Alana’s paintings capture on paper everyday places, with a new evocative and atmospheric edge.

Inspired by the talents of fellow Australian Watercolourists Joseph Zbukvic, Jenny MacNaughton, Graham W. Smith, Chan Dissanayake, Ross Paterson, Szczepan Urbanowicz, Cecila Xiao and John Newman, Alana continues to experiment and develop her style.

Alana also has a pleasant, inclusive and supportive teaching style, making her a well-loved and in demand artist educator.
