Art Events in Sunshine Coast

In this acrylic painting workshop, participants will explore colour and texture, using palette knives to create their own atmospheric interpretation of the sky; whether bright, moody, serene, stormy, hopeful, or entirely imagined. Through colour mixing, expressive mark‑making, and the surprising, freeing effects of palette knives, everyone will have the chance to create a sky that is uniquely their own painted on a 30x30cm canvas.
