Join Bayside Painting Prize finalist, Eleanor Louise Butt, for a masterclass in gestural abstraction exploring the natural world. Participants will be introduced to contemporary and historical artists who have explored this theme followed by making drawings from source material and props from Eleanor's garden and developing these into paintings in watercolour and gouache. The class will offer techniques and demonstrations and is suitable for both beginners and more experienced painters. All materials provided.
