One-day or more, workshop with Adele Mitchell

Enjoy the process of creating a small painting from the inspiration of native New Zealand bush or our local landscape.

We can take drawing materials out into the native bush or landscape to gather ideas and sketches that can later be transformed into a painting. You will be guided in the use of acrylics to create your own 6”x6”painting to be completed by the end of one day. 

Experience is not necessary but this workshop is suitable for all levels, guidance being given to ensure that everyone has an enjoyable day with pleasing results.

Accommodation is available for those who wish to stay longer and either work independently or with guidance from Adele. For those wishing to stay longer and are looking for variety Adele will introduce you to other local artists i.e. a weaver, a textile artist and a printmaker.
