All materials will be provided in the session including high quality watercolour paper to experiment on - however, if you have paints you wish to use you are welcome to bring them along as well! You will leave this session with practical technique guides and, hopefully, the passion to get journaling! We recommend this session if you want to get better at painting figuratively - i.e. painting nature, landscapes, things, but also if you are needing help getting good results in your art journal which means abstract painting, or capturing textures as well!
The session will run for 3 hours with a short break for tea or coffee (provided on site cost inclusive). If you wish to bring a morning/afternoon tea snack please feel free to do so!
Workshop Outline:
Types of watercolour journals and what is “Plein Air” painting

Mixed media layering
Combining your drawing and painting skills to sketch!
Protecting your finished work
In the future we may run some group come and paint sessions at the botanic gardens for those who have the supplies but want some guidance! So let us know if this is something you might want to hear about.
Where am I going and how to get to the workshop?!
The Rundle Collective Studios is located in Gawler Place near Rundle Mall. We have a glass door on the ground floor located next to the National Pharmacies and Paradigm Zone Arcade (opposite Daiso). At the front door you will need to be shown into the building by the artist - they will be there to show you in but also don’t hesitate to contact them when you arrive via phone or text on 0459 946 479.
There is some street parking available but most is timed or paid. If you are lucky depending on the time you may have luck on Pirie or Flinders Street but this may be a bit of a walk for some attendees. We would recommend looking at the pre-booked undercover parking options near Rundle Mall for the best paid parking rate, or consider parking close to the city and using public transport to access the city if cost is a concern. The studio building is fully wheelchair accessible as we have an internal lift. We are on Level 2 and 3 of the building and you will need to have assistance from our team to access the building on the day. Don't hesitate to use our contact number provided if you have any difficulties. Generally, the space is fairly quiet and sensory friendly - if you have any accessibility considerations you would like to discuss please feel free to contact us so we can ensure the event is adjusted accordingly.
The Event Spaces
There are two event spaces at the Rundle Collective - the smaller space on Level 2 and the larger space on Level 3. We are usually using the larger space on Level 3 unless it is a private booking. Both are able to be made private by shutting the door to the main artist studios. We have accessible bathrooms on both levels. We can also access the kitchen on level 2 as needed.
Have any more questions? Feel free to reach out to Bianca at any time on 0459 946 479 or send us an email if you prefer to bianca.hoffrichter@gmail.com
Yes we take private bookings with a one person minimum - please reach out to arrange a specific time/date. We can also talk about bigger groups as well if you would like!
