COVID- 19 UPDATE with regards our Meetings, Events, Workshops and Social Days.

We’ve been monitoring and sought advice with regards to COVID-19 from governing bodies.

Our gatherings are small and well below the limits for events requiring cancellation. With that being said, there’s no denying that recent COVID-19 developments are having a direct impact on our global and local communities. The health and wellbeing of our members is our highest priority. Being mindful of hygiene is imperative, and we will ensure that any space we use is sanitized and cleaned appropriately. Of course, each individual must be responsible for their safety and make their own decisions accordingly.

During this time, as a community, we have a responsibility to those that need us to remain operational. And, respect those who have decided not to attend events and workshops at this time.

If you have any flu-like symptoms, please seek advice and stay at home until you are well again! for updated information visit The Australian Government Department of Health website where you will find links to all the latest information.

Why come to our Casual Painting Group?

Painting watercolour gives you pleasure and great satisfaction, and as a group, it’s just a fun thing to do. You will enjoy learning from each other while sharing ideas and experiences. It is a very social morning and a way to chat about your work, find out what other activities are happening, and learn from others while enjoying your own “zone”.

Come and try it, you’ll love it. It’s casual painting, so come when it suits or when you feel like a morning painting with others. Morning tea is a specialty!

It is also possible to arrange lessons by appointment.

While you are on our website why not take a looks at other workshops and classes we are running.

Workshop:   Artist Ev Hales on 30-31st August 2020

Artist Ev Hales loves painting all subjects in nature. Working in the Plein Air style of painting is a passion. According to Ev, it is the best studio on earth. As a highly respected artist Ev will be joining the Watercolour Society of Queensland on 30-31^st August 2020  to carry out a workshop for our members and watercolor artists interested in learning the Plein air art. Ev Hales makes it look easy to paint and gives you the tips and techniques that make it achievable.

Here is what Ev Hales has to say,  “My challenge is to ensure my artists have the skills at hand to translate what they are seeing with confidence and clarity. Moreover, I provide a comprehensive selection of methods to help students to interpret what is in front of them regardless of the subjects they have chosen.”
