Canberra Courses and Workshops

NatureArt Lab offers high quality short art courses and workshops in Canberra, Brisbane and other locations.

We take our curriculum content seriously, and offer our own foundation drawing and watercolour courses. We also offer classes in almost any medium from colour pencil, scratchboard, acrylics through to scientific illustration of birds, orchids, sea creatures and much more.

Participants have the opportunity to learn new skills, meet new people and immerse themselves in art inspired by nature. Select a series of courses to suit your interests, and consider developing your foundation skills through a better understanding of colour theory, drawing skills or use of water-based mediums such as watercolour or gouache.
