Nature Painting - Proceeds to Takayna Forest Conservation

$30.00

Proceeds from this workshop go directly to supporting the Takayna Rainforest in Tasmania. The artist Bianca Hoffrichter will be embarking on a 5 day artist in residence program in April and participating in an exhibition in Tasmania to support ongoing conservation efforts for the last major rainforest ecosystem currently under threat.

This workshop aims to connect us with nature and provide a friendly, relaxing, supported environment to explore watercolour. You might have some experience or no experience! Everyone is welcome. Bianca will be there to provide guidance and advice as needed.

All materials will be supplied during the sessions but you are welcome to also bring anything you enjoy working with or are familiar with. There will be an outdoor option held at the Adelaide Botanic Gardens, another at Mt Lofty Botanic Gardens, and an indoor option at the Rundle Collective Studios for those needing an accessible indoor location. Indoor sessions will include live plants for inspiration. Abstract painters are still welcome to attend and be inspired by their surroundings!

This workshop will include:

  • Guidance through sketching nature

  • Mixing natural colours and creating colour samples

  • Creating a composition from nature

  • Eco-friendly painting practices

If you wish to donate to the project instead of joining the workshop please do! Every little bit helps to support the project. You can find a donations section on our website for this project.

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 or keep painting! 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 2 hours. If you wish to bring a morning/afternoon tea snack please feel free to do so! For outdoor sessions please also bring some water along. (Indoor sessions will have drinking water available on site.)



Where am I going and how to get to the workshop?! - Indoor Session

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
