Live Demo - Insights into the Creative Practice | Jan Lawnikanis

About this event

This is a rare opportunity to come and enjoy two hours at this live demonstration. You will meet and be entertained by a great artist sharing their knowledge and talent with you.

Jan has been working with and teaching a variety of art media for the last 25 years, but she is mostly known for her watercolour floral paintings. She is often asked how to paint backgrounds for this subject. How much detail? What colours? Transparent or opaque? Or should it be left white?

These questions will be answered and demonstrated during the evening. Participants will be rewarded with an insight into Jan’s painting methods as well as inspiration and ideas for future watercolour projects.

Who is this workshop suitable for?

Everyone is welcome! This is a seated event with strictly limited numbers.

What do I need to bring?

Nothing at all. But you're welcome to bring a notepad and any questions for the artist!

• A glass of wine on arrival
• A friendly, supportive and encouraging learning environment
• Connection to the Bienarté art community
