Course Description
Please bring $10 material fee in cash to pay to tutor on the day. Take flight with colour and creativity in this vibrant art experience inspired by one of Australia’s most loved native birds, the pink and grey galah (Eolophus roseicapilla). Young artists will explore how to observe, sketch, and paint their own bright galah using acrylics on board, learning about colour mixing, texture, and expressive mark-making along the way. Participants are invited to discover how art can balance realistic observation and emotional expression, beginning with close study of the bird’s shapes and colours, then layering intuition, feeling, and imagination to create a truly personal masterpiece. Perfect for curious young creatives who love animals, nature, and the magic of art. What you need to bring: Please wear old clothes/apron.
