Canterbury artist Neela Curran’s Lazy Sundays Watercolour Workshops are back, with exciting new changes and a beautiful farmhouselocationinRakaia.
Last year, Neela focused on beginners, keen to help people start their artistic journey. This year’s schedule welcomes all skill levels, starting with a foundation skills refresher for those who attended but haven’tpracticedmuch.
“The most popular workshops were ‘Watercolour for people who can’t paint or draw,’” says Neela. “I was completely booked out, so this year I’ve settwodatesforthat.”
Neela began teaching watercolour in Australia and has been featured on TV, in magazines, and newspapers. She has taught people with disabilities, mental health challenges, and those in the prison system. “I have to paint for my own mental health—it
keepsmesane,”shesays.
New additions include painting en plein air, gestural line drawing with watercolour wash, and brush pen lettering.
“I needed better lettering for my cityscape paintings, so I started practicing,” she explains. The calligraphy workshops suit anyone wanting to improve handwriting,notjustartists.
All workshops include materials, refreshments, and small, friendly class sizes. “I’ve attended bootcamp-style
workshops, and I hated them,” Neela says. “I want mine to be fun, relaxed, and nurturing— people can even just watch andeatcake!”
Neela believes her teaching success comes from remembering what it’s like to be a beginner. “I demonstrate everything as it happens,” she says. “Watercolour has a wow factor, and I love seeing people’sfaceslightup.”
