Workshop Description:

A two day workshop with award winning watercolour artist, Ev Hales. 

Instructor Background:

Ev Hales started as a print maker and trained to become a Secondary Art and Craft teacher after leaving secondary school.  She has taught in high schools, in the TAFE adult learning area, private classes and has conducted workshops for many societies and art groups in Australia and overseas.

Her teaching changed from an aim to “teach” to one of developing a “desire to learn and solve problems” as they arose.  By giving students a skill base and encouraging lateral ways of thinking to resolve issues, Ev found ways to relight the creative flame in her students, which accelerates the whole learning experience.

Ev has worked in a wide variety of media and continues to return to watercolour, which she believe is the only “alive” medium.  “It is capricious, with a mind of its own and it continues to challenge me.  As well as the constant challenges it surprises me and rewards diligent effort”.
