Watercolour Butterflies Workshop with Ingrid Bartkowiak
10–1am Saturday 1 August 2026

Join artist Ingrid Bartkowiak for an unforgettable afternoon painting Australia's delicate butterflies in watercolour. 

In this 3-hour session, you'll flutter the intricate wings of Australia's most delicate butterflies to life painting with watercolour and experimenting with masking fluid and fineliner pens. Whether you're picking up a brush for the first time or refining your technique, this workshop welcomes all skill levels and provides everything you need to create beautiful watercolours.

To start, Ingrid will guide you through the basics of using watercolour paints, paper and brushes. You will learn how to activate your colours using water and how to mix colours, and how to layer colours to change tones and intensity. Ingrid will demonstrate how to bring these elements together to achieve different results, with a focus on the particular techniques that you'll be using in this workshop. 

Ingrid will demonstrate how you could approach beautiful butterflies and moths such as the monarch butterfly, yellow tiger moth, spotted triangle moth and or any special requests you may have. Ingrid will also demonstrate how to use wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry techniques for your butterflies and how to create different gradients and patterns for their wings. You'll also be shown how to use masking fluid and fine liners with watercolour to achieve some unique effects.

Next, it's your turn to practise your skills by creating gradients, brush strokes and colour mixing. You'll start by painting a butterfly working on A5 watercolour paper, breaking down the butterfly from reference materials by looking at the shapes and colours we see, what brush strokes we can use to create our illustration, and then we put it all together to create a full butterfly or moth. You'll then have the opportunity to bring your new skills together to create your own series of winged watercolour creations or add elements like flowers and leaves to a single artwork. 

Materials

All the materials required for the workshop will be provided. Please wear an apron if you are worried about staining your clothes. 

Who Should Attend?

This workshop is suitable for beginners with little or no experience, and more advanced students who would like to learn from Ingrid and develop their watercolour knowledge and techniques.

About Ingrid Bartkowiak

Her distinctive style is inspired by botanical illustration and the Arts and Crafts movement through its use of tiny patterns, exquisite detail, and vivid blocks of colour.

Good product. What you see is what you get.
Color: 1-Navy Blue
Material feels sturdy and was a perfect fit compatible for my iPad. There's adequate grip and padding for a comfortable yet slim feel. Magnets hold it close and in one position when propping it up for watching landscape videos. Back is translucent as advertised. Solid product, put it on as i opened my new ipad for immediate protection. Perfectly safe blind buy if you're also getting that 'frequently bought together' suggestion from Amazon.

Bright & Pretty Hot Pink.
Color: Pitaya Red, Color: Pitaya Red
Very pretty and bright. It’s thick and great quality. Strong grip and doesn’t come off easily. Easy to clean when it gets dirty. It also has a nice backing. I prefer the transparent bright pink backing than the clear version. I love the strong magnetic for when I position it upwards. It can be positioned downwards too.

Very protective iPad case
Color: 1-Navy Blue
This MoKo iPad case is excellent! It fits perfectly and provides great protection without adding bulk. The navy blue color looks very sleek, and the translucent back shell is a nice touch. It’s super magnetic, with great padding. The smart cover works flawlessly with the auto wake/sleep feature, and the cutouts line up perfectly for Touch ID. Lightweight, durable, and a fantastic value!
