Learn to paint botanical watercolours with Lauren May SK

Creating botanical art is a valuable pass time for anyone wanting to exercise their creativity, learn new skills, practise mindfulness and focus and appreciate the beauty and intricacy in nature. 

Learn the skills you need to enjoy watercolour painting in Lauren's workshops.

Lauren runs her workshops and courses across several venues within Newcastle and Lake Macquarie.

Venue details are listed within each class description.
