About

Native Australian Bees with Plant-Based Watercolour

Discover the beauty of Native Australian bees through plant-based watercolour in this relaxed, beginner-friendly workshop. Explore natural pigments made from colour-rich plants such as cosmos flowers, madder root, and indigo, creating soft, earthy colours with a beautiful, natural vintage quality.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to observe and paint Native Australian bees. Using Lutea plant watercolours, you’ll explore the delicate shapes, intricate markings, fine wings, and subtle colours that make these fascinating little pollinators so unique.

The workshop is designed to encourage you to slow down, look closely, and enjoy the meditative and mindful practice of painting, while capturing the character and delicate details of the bee.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to observe the form and distinctive features of Native Australian bees
  • How to work with plant watercolours to create subtle, natural colour
  • Techniques for capturing fine details such as wings, markings, and texture
  • How to build delicate layers of colour while maintaining a light, natural feel
  • How painting can become a meditative and mindful practice

All materials are provided. Bring your lunch or enjoy one of Montville’s lovely cafés during the break.
