Watercolours with Bernadette Parsons

Picture
Bernadette Parsons is one of New Zealand's foremost watercolourists. For over 20 years she has been inspired by landscapes across New Zealand, including those of her home in Whangamarino. Bernadette's work has won many awards, been published in books and is held in private collections here and in Europe and Australia.
This one day workshop is aimed at beginner and experienced painters. Bernadette feels watercolour is a medium that you work with in a partnership, allowing it a freedom which can never be repeated. "Spontaneity is something I value most in my paintings as this is what will make them special", Bernadette says.
Bernadette enjoys the excitement people feel when trying the medium. In this one day workshop you will watch Bernadette demonstrate her technique and experiment yourself, taking home artworks of your own. 
​May 25 is now fully booked. Spots are available for July 6. 

Cost is $55. All materials are supplied. Workshop is aimed at teens and adults. Register at [email protected]​
