WATERCOLOUR MASTERCLASS - 2 WEEKS
Best for: Adults and ages 14+
This 2 week class is designed for those who want to try something new or build your confidence with watercolours, from complete beginners to artists looking to refresh and extend their skills.
Tell the family they need to sort out their own dinner for 2 weeks while you take some well deserved time to nourish YOUR creative needs!
Through a series of demonstrations, practical exercises, and individual guidance, we will explore the unique qualities of watercolour while developing a strong understanding of technique, composition, and expressive brushwork.
Using Australia's beautiful nature scapes as inspiration, you will complete a painting each week - each introducing different approaches and technical challenges.
Over two weeks we will explore:
- Composition and visual structure
- Creating atmosphere through light, colour, and tone
- Tonal relationships, colour harmony, and atmospheric perspective
- Wet-in-wet techniques for soft, luminous washes
- Dry brush techniques for texture and detail
- Loose, expressive brushwork while maintaining control
- Brush handling and mark-making to develop a more fluent and expressive painting language
The emphasis is on learning through practice in a supportive studio environment, with plenty of demonstrations and one-on-one feedback along the way. By the end of the course, you'll have a solid understanding of key watercolour techniques, greater confidence in your painting process, and beautiful works to take home.
All materials are included so you just need to turn up and make some art. No experience needed.
This is a fun-filled workshop facilitated by local artist Belinda Suzette. Belinda is a cross-disciplinary folk artist, illustrator and designer inspired by culture, nature and celebration. A passionate advocate of art and craft therapy, Belinda loves working with people of all ages, from all walks of life.

Workshop Terms and Conditions
General
We understand that life moves fast and things can change, so we want to be clear about our terms and conditions up front.
Your seat is secured once we receive full payment so check your email address carefully and look out for an automated confirmation email. If you didn't receive a confirmation email after your payment, check your junk mail. Otherwise, contact us at hello@thecraftparlour.com.au.
Please set a reminder and double-check workshop dates and times here through our website. We do not send reminder emails. You have purchased a ticket and we have held this spot for you, purchased materials and turned others away, so we can not issue credits or a refund if you do not attend. Feel free to contact us anytime to clarify session times - hello@thecraftparlour.com.au
If you would like to check out the full terms and conditions, you can find them here.
Credits or Transfers
You can transfer your ticket to another workshop, providing you give us 7 or more days notice. You can only transfer a ticket once. If the new workshop is a higher cost, you will need to pay the difference. If the new workshop is a lesser cost, we will provide a gift card for the difference.
If there is no suitable workshop, you can transfer your ticket to a gift card. The gift card will be for your ticket price, and is valid for 12 months.
If you can no longer make a class and it is less than 7 days away, we have already purchased materials and it is too late for us to resell your ticket. We encourage you to send a friend along to take your spot or gift someone your ticket and make their day!
In some cases we may be able to give you the materials to complete the workshop at home. Please email us at hello@thecraftparlour.com.au to check.
Refunds
We cannot provide a refund due to changes in your circumstances or availability.
We will offer you the choice of a refund or gift card of the value of the ticket price if we cancel a workshop. The refund or gift card will not exceed the purchase price.
Workshop Cancellations
As you would expect, we have class minimums to meet. If we do not meet them and need to cancel a class, we may do so at any time, usually a day or two before the scheduled workshop.
If we cancel or reschedule your workshop for any reason, you will be offered the choice of another workshop, a refund or a gift card of the value of your ticket price.

We may wish to photograph or film the workshop and reserve the right to do so for the purposes of promoting future workshops or otherwise. You consent to us (or any other person attending the workshop) photographing or filming you and any persons attending the workshop with you.
