Brighten Up Your Winter with Belinda Biggs

Some of you may remember Belinda’s visit to our studio last year, which was exceptionally popular and thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended.

Belinda Biggs is an Australian artist known for her finely detailed watercolour and coloured pencil work inspired by the natural world. Her award-winning practice includes botanical subjects, wildlife, and natural history studies. Belinda exhibits regularly and her work is held in private and public collections internationally. A highly experienced tutor, she teaches classes, workshops and painting holidays in Australia and overseas. 

This upcoming workshop will focus on watercolour and coloured pencil techniques, offering participants the chance to develop detail, colour, and realism in their work under Belinda’s expert instruction. If you enjoyed her workshop last year, or if you missed out, this is a wonderful opportunity to learn from an experienced international tutor.  

Full information is on the flyer below and if you'd like to secure an early space please register your interest via email at info@marlboroughartsociety.co.nz

CANCELLED Intermediate Oil Painting Workshop

Unfortunately we have had to make the difficult decision to cancel this series of workshops - but keep your eyes open for future workshops next year, hopefully.

Taking place over 3 consecutive Saturdays, this workshop is ideal for those who have done Mieke’s Oil Painting for Beginners course in the past. Students bring all their own paints, brushes and canvases, along with projects that they want to work on, and Mieke will tutor to their individual needs (could be 1 or more paintings). It will be helpful to review the notes from the beginner’s course beforehand. (Just email us if you have mislaid them).

If you have any queries please don’t hesitate to contact us here

Bookings can be made by emailing here
