Bushland Park is a special place of natural beauty that heals + soothes the spirit. This workshop offers connection with nature + creativity
Bushland Park in the Adelaide Hills is a special place of natural beauty that heals and soothes the spirit. In this one-day workshop we will connect with nature and with our own creative spirit.
Sketching and painting in nature connect us with the landscape in a way that no other activity can.
In this relaxed workshop, participants will be supported to create a set of drawings and a finished canvas that reflect their time deeply immersed in nature.
The day will include:
- Introductions and morning tea
- A short bushwalk
- Nature sketching – exploring line, tone and texture
- Painting exercises on paper including mark making and explorations
- After lunch, painting on canvas using inspiration for the morning’s activities
- Afternoon tea and reflections of the day
All materials are provided, and all skill levels are welcomed at this workshop.
