Watercolour Butterflies Workshop with Ingrid Bartkowiak
10–1am Saturday 1 August 2026

Join artist Ingrid Bartkowiak for an unforgettable afternoon painting Australia's delicate butterflies in watercolour. 

In this 3-hour session, you'll flutter the intricate wings of Australia's most delicate butterflies to life painting with watercolour and experimenting with masking fluid and fineliner pens. Whether you're picking up a brush for the first time or refining your technique, this workshop welcomes all skill levels and provides everything you need to create beautiful watercolours.

To start, Ingrid will guide you through the basics of using watercolour paints, paper and brushes. You will learn how to activate your colours using water and how to mix colours, and how to layer colours to change tones and intensity. Ingrid will demonstrate how to bring these elements together to achieve different results, with a focus on the particular techniques that you'll be using in this workshop. 

Ingrid will demonstrate how you could approach beautiful butterflies and moths such as the monarch butterfly, yellow tiger moth, spotted triangle moth and or any special requests you may have. Ingrid will also demonstrate how to use wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry techniques for your butterflies and how to create different gradients and patterns for their wings. You'll also be shown how to use masking fluid and fine liners with watercolour to achieve some unique effects.

Next, it's your turn to practise your skills by creating gradients, brush strokes and colour mixing. You'll start by painting a butterfly working on A5 watercolour paper, breaking down the butterfly from reference materials by looking at the shapes and colours we see, what brush strokes we can use to create our illustration, and then we put it all together to create a full butterfly or moth. You'll then have the opportunity to bring your new skills together to create your own series of winged watercolour creations or add elements like flowers and leaves to a single artwork. 

Materials

All the materials required for the workshop will be provided. Please wear an apron if you are worried about staining your clothes. 

Who Should Attend?

This workshop is suitable for beginners with little or no experience, and more advanced students who would like to learn from Ingrid and develop their watercolour knowledge and techniques.

True to Description - Excellent Watch
I've had this watch for about a week and am extremely pleased with it. It's been over 20 years since I actually owned a watch,I just didn't need one until after I retired and began losing track of time (not such a bad thing.) I was relying on my iPhone but got tired of having to take it out to see the time.. So I broke down and purchased this Women's T2N837 watch with white nylon band. I love the colorful numbers which makes it a 'happy' watch. The second hand is wonderful, and it keeps great time. It's as quiet as can be and so comfortable that I forget it's even on my wrist. I have small wrists but the face is not overwhelming, in fact it's just right. There are plenty of holes in the band to adjust to my small wrist. The white nylon band is getting a little dingy just from normal wear, but I figure I can wash it with some soft detergent and scrub it if I need to with a toothbrush. If it becomes too much, I can always purchase a color band to replace it. I recommend it for anyone who is thinking about purchasing a reliable, comfortable and inexpensive watch.

Timex should be ashamed
Color: Black/White/Silver-Tone
Bought this for my wife because she likes my Timex Weekender, but the 38mm is to large for her. I’m incredibly disappointed in the quality on hers. - the crown/stem is incredibly hard to pull out due to the lack of any lubrication on the setting lever or clutch wheel. You can feel it when pulling the crown to set the time, that is if you can even pull it out. It’s stuck in the watch and you have to pull with such force it will break the crown off or the stems internal components will wear prematurely. - the seconds hand doesn’t hit the markers which honestly is not a huge deal on a watch this price. It’s hit or miss for watches of any brand in this price range. - the hour hand is misaligned. This is a issue and not acceptable no matter the price of the watch, especially for Timex. I’m not happy at all and quite disappointed. Timex should be ashamed to sell a watch leaving the factory like this.

this is the perfect daily everyday use digital watch........
Color: Black
hands down the best edc digital watch available, this watch is everything you need at a quarter of the cost of other digital watches. we all know the durability of iron man watches its legendary, but where this watch beats even other iron man offerings is the size of the digital numbers displayed a bit larger for aging eyes and what makes it even more durable than the other iron man watch's is that the instructional labeling of the buttons is under the glass and wont fade or rub off under use making it look cleaner and newer for longer. now lets mention the size or foot print of this watch, i own several watches from competing brands and almost once a day i hit the watch on something a door knob a table corner, but when I'm wearing this Timex 40mm i never hit it on anything due to the thinness of the watch.
