The Art of Watercolour – One Day Workshop

The Art of Watercolour is the perfect one day workshop for beginners to start their watercolour journey.

Watercolour is a beautiful and versatile medium that can create striking images with very little setup. The practice is soothing and is the perfect medium to pick up as a hobby or to rediscover your creativity. For beginners, watercolour can be a difficult medium to master, yet incredibly rewarding once you understand the basics.

In this workshop, Natalie will teach you how to build up soft and gentle layers of luminous colour while creating depth and perspective. She will help you understand how to work with the paint's watery nature, explaining when and where to work wet vs dry to create dreamy images.

About the teacher:

Gold Coast artist Natalie Popovski has rapidly gained recognition since her debut at Sofa Gallery in 2018. Her practice, which began with watercolours, has evolved to include oil paintings and ceramics. Popovski’s recent work explores female intuition through floral representations, infusing orchids, roses, and lilies with an ethereal quality that reflects inner knowledge.

In 2022, she showcased her solo exhibition Absorption at the Tweed Regional Gallery and was a finalist in the National Emerging Art Prize and the Ravenswood Women’s Art Prize. Her awards include finalist spots in the 2023 Ravenswood Art Prize and the Small Works Art Prize. Popovski's work has been featured in group shows across Queensland and New South Wales, marking her as a significant emerging talent in the Australian art scene.
