Join artist Pippa Sanderson for a watercolour painting workshop, inspired by her current Equivalent Exchange works in our Unfinished Portraits exhibition. Pippa will do a live demonstration, sharing how she creates her portraits, while participants will be provided with all the materials and guidance they need to create their own watercolour portrait.

Participants are encouraged to bring a photograph of someone they wish to paint a portrait of, perhaps an ancestor or a friend. It is also fine to use an image from your phone, the image just needs to be a portrait. The Gallery will provide some portraits from our collection participants can paint from also.

At the end of the workshop Pippa invites participants to share a cup of tea or coffee and some kai.
