On Saturday I held a High Tea Watercolour Pencil Watercolour Pencil class at the historic Dromkeen homestead, about 1 hour outside of Melbourne. We held one about four years ago and were so happy to have this back on the calendar. Another one is planned for December. Keep a lookout on the Dromkeen website !

There were eight in the group and lots of chatting. A few were there as a gift. The table was set up beautifully when we arrived.

The two hour class involves learning about watercolour pencil, paper and waterbrushes and having a play with them. Attendees can bring their own sketch gear (often people have watercolour pencils and don’t know what to do with them) or purchase a kit on the day. It is quite social.

They ate the savouries and choose a few sweets to draw . Who wants to draw sandwiches when there are colourful and decadent sweet treats and beautiful tea cups and plates to sketch!

I wish I had to to eat and sketch as well as teach !
