COMING SOON
I am so lucky; I have nature right at my back doorstep and in the middle of suburbia. The Seaford and Edithvale Wetlands are a major source of inspiration for my landscapes both realist and semi-abstract works.
How would you like to go on an hour's exploration walk, capture your shots, and then come and paint one of your snaps? Don't worry, the walk is easy and there are no hills. In fact, it is a 30-minute stroll taking some photos and then approximately 30 minutes back.

What to expect: Walk It, Snap It, Paint It, runs for approximately 3 hours.

- Now the painting fun begins with some tips on sketching, brushes, and paint mixing tips to get you started on your masterpiece.
- Decide your colour palette and away you go painting your own canvas to take home.
FAQ'S
DO I HAVE TO BE SUPER FIT FOR THE WALK?
The walk is following the wetlands trail and is even and mostly on sturdy tracks. There is a small area that is bushy and can be wet in winter. If you feel you do not want to walk you are welcome to sit it out and use some of my photos.
WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS?
If we have inclement weather on the day, we can use inspiration from my photo collection of the area, or you can use any other shots you have on your own phone. We may be able to go out for a short walk to capture some great shots.
