Last Wednesday morning I taught the first of my 3-hour March watercolour painting workshops, Introducing Watercolours, at THE BAKEHOUSE STUDIO located at 54 Renwick Street in Marrickville NSW.
We just started of with some simple exercises leading on to students drawing and painting their own images from reference I had supplied. Everyone really enjoyed the class and students were all pleasantly surprised by what they were able to achieve in a short period of time.
The Bakehouse Studio is a great venue and this coming Wednesday, 16 March 2016, from 10am – 1pm I will be teaching the next workshop with the topic of Travel Sketching & Diaries.
There are still places available for this workshop so if you are interested in creating watercolour images from your travels, both at home and abroad, please email me for more information and to make a booking at:
pam.juno@bigpond.com
All these March workshops are designed to show how easy watercolours can be to use and are suitable for absolute beginners or students who may have worked in oils or acrylics and are wanting to try this wonderful medium. The cost of the workshop is $85. I will be supplying morning tea and will also have some art materials available to purchase on the day if you don’t have your own.

Botanical Art Watercolour Workshop at Scratch Art Space 67 Sydenham Road, Marrickville NSW
After the successful Simply Watercolour watercolour workshop I held on the premises of Scratch Art Space in early November 2015, I am scheduled to teach a 2-day weekend Botanical Art watercolour painting workshop in the second half of 2016 with the final dates yet to be confirmed.
This workshop will take students through how to observe their plant subject; doing a preliminary drawing of the plant through to transferring the image to watercolour paper and applying colour to produce the final painting.

I recently went for a driving trip up to Brisbane to see some gallery exhibitions and took my travel sketching kit with me so I could do some work along the way. Here I am working on a small en plein air watercolour painting in the Old Queensland Botanic Gardens in Brisbane and also the small kit of of travel sketching materials I took with me.
UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS IN 2016
Travelogue, Travel Sketching Exhibition
I am currently planning an exhibition with friend and fellow artist, Margaret Carey and we will be submitting a proposal to some galleries for this in the next week or so. At the moment the exhibition has the working title of Travelogue and will feature pencil; pen & ink; watercolours; mixed media & collage of glimpses, scenes and impressions from our travels at home and abroad. My husband, Jamie McIlWraith, will also be joining us for the exhibition with his digital ‘dioramas’ created in Photoshop which tie in well with the theme of this exhibition.
ASMA Exhibitions
As a member of the Australian Society of Miniature Art, there are two exhibitions later in the year that I will be participating in. The first is an exhibition titled Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow which will be held at Juniper Hall in Paddington NSW from 21 May – 5 June 2016. I am planning on submitting 2 – 3 watercolour works based on the exhibition theme.
The other is the Annual ASMA Awards Exhibition which will run from 31 July – 20 August 2016 at the Ewart Gallery in Willoughby NSW.
There will be more information about all these exhibitions in the weeks and months to come.
