About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Hone your observational skills and try some innovative techniques developed by Australian wildlife artist, Wildcard-Sue (Sue Liu). This is a dynamic and engaging workshop where you'll learn about some quirky marine animals, study them, and begin to draw natural forms.

You’ll learn more about some of our favourite marine animals and what threatens them in their environment. This workshop utilises accessible materials (lead pencils and artline pens) to make your observations come to life. This may be a step toward discovering your own, unique style!
