Paint an Australian Landscape Workshop at The Post and Rail
The Post and Rail
Imagine hanging a painting at home and proudly telling visitors it is your own work. Back by popular demand, this relaxed, hands-on workshop at The Post and Rail in Penola guides guests through painting a classic Australian landscape, complete with gum trees and shimmering reflections in still water.
Artist and teacher Cindy Bunt breaks the painting down step by step, sharing practical techniques for colour mixing, creating depth and distance, painting convincing reflections and adding the finishing touches that bring a scene to life. There is plenty of guidance and time for questions throughout the day.
Many past students had never picked up a brush before, and their finished paintings are proof that no experience is needed. Those who already paint will enjoy trying new techniques in a friendly, unhurried setting.
Morning tea and a homemade lunch are included, and every guest takes home their own finished painting.
Set in the heritage-listed former Cobb and Co building near Petticoat Lane, the workshop sits on the doorstep of the Coonawarra wine region, making it a creative addition to a weekend in the Limestone Coast.
