About
Suitable for artists with some prior experience of drawing, painting and use of colourThe Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Avenue and Woodland Walk, in the Botanic Gardens is a site with cultural, historical and botanical significance. It contains Kauri, Hoop and Bunya Pines which are off-spring of trees planted during the 1870s.
In this 2 day workshop artists will have an opportunity to learn about the trees’ significance and observe them in their natural habitat.
Day 1 at GCRBG starts with a guided walk, followed by morning tea at 10am. Participants then explore the site to choose a specific tree or bark to draw and photograph, embellished with leaves, flowers, or fruit if available.
Day 2 is at RQAS studio, where participants undertake a graphite drawing with colour added for extra interest, focusing on tonal values, graphite layering, bark texture rendering and colour mixing.
