Superb Parrot Watercolour Workshop
Superb parrots are beautiful migratory birds that nest in the hollows of old eucalyptus trees, making Mulligans Flat an important place for their survival. In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to create your own painting of a superb parrot using watercolour, guided by Sophie and Kate, who are local artists and staff at Wildbark.
The workshop is designed to be fun and relaxed, aimed at beginner and intermediate level artists, so no experience is required. The afternoon will begin with some warmup exercises to help you become familiar with watercolour, before working towards completing a painting for you to take home. All materials will be provided, however, if you have your own materials you are more than welcome to bring them. *Recommended for 14 years+

Time: 1:00pm - 4:00pm
