Join Art Outdoors for this wonderful opportunity to paint ‘en plein air’ within the beautiful Government House Gardens. Capture the graceful lines of historic Government House or focus on the lush garden vistas. We provide a picnic lunch and everything you need to make this a very special and unforgettable experience. Our thanks to the Governor of Western Australia, The Honourable Kim Beazley AC, for the privilege of painting in the Government House Gardens.
If you want to immerse yourself in nature and art, our outdoor sessions are perfect for you. You don’t need to have ever held a paintbrush before. All you need is a willingness to learn and express yourself! Acrylic paints on canvas are used in this session.
