Spend a relaxing day painting with Polla at the beautiful Ellis House! Whether you're a total watercolour newbie or have dabbled in a bit of watercolour before, this workshop is perfect for you.
With all materials provided and no drawing experience necessary, it's an opportunity to dive into the world of watercolour with confidence.
Join Polla as she guides you step by step in creating a stunning moth orchid painting to cherish. From practising foundational techniques to exploring various watercolour materials, you'll gain valuable insights and skills along the way.
So what are you waiting for? Pack your lunch and get ready to indulge in a day of creativity! Tea and coffee facilities are available to keep you energised throughout the class.

Knowledge required
If you have picked up a brush and know which end is which, this class is fine for you! We welcome artists who have experience in other mediums but have never used watercolour before, people with a little watercolour experience hoping to gain some more knowledge or more practiced artists who just want a creative day out with everything laid out for them.

  • Expert guidance and tuition through the process of painting a beautiful orchid in watercolour.
  • You will have access to your own palette, a selection of brushes, premium paints and 100% cotton paper.

With a maker for a father and a mother whose pockets are perpetually stuffed with foraged seeds, it's only to be expected Polla would end up as a creative inspired by nature.
​
An award-winning artist, Polla has a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Western Australia, studied interior design and has also worked for many years as a graphic designer and commissioned artist. She is a member of NAVA (National Association of Visual Artists) and the prestigious Watercolour Society of WA.
Inspired by the beautiful bush surrounding her Chittering home studio, Polla loves to express her enthusiasm for Australian nature by painting representational watercolours depicting "life close up" - still life, animals, birds and flowers. She loves to share her techniques in achieving her brand of realism through fun and informative workshops that demystify watercolour and make them accessible to all levels of artists. You'll hopefully leave her class armed with plenty of knowledge to move forward and a painting you'd be proud to frame.
