WINE & WATERCOLOUR EVENINGS
Mount Ruapehu on one of the glorious days after a southerly has passed through. This is one of the subjects for the July beginner water colour events at Artspace Gallery.
Get a group of workmates or friends together and end your working day on a creative high, learning the joys of watercolour painting with a glass of wine (or two) for inspiration. During the fun filled evening, you'll be guided through painting your own watercolour led by a master teacher in an awesome classroom overlooking the sea. We'll cover the different techniques of watercolours such as painting 'wet in wet', colour mixing and brush control. No previous art experience is required and there's no need to worry about drawing as painting outlines will already be prepared for you so that we can focus on the joys of watercolour painting. These workshops are suitable for both beginners and more experienced watercolour artists who would like to fine tune their skills and style.
Each class is two hours and the cost of $50 which includes all materials. Just turn up empty and leave two hours later with your completed watercolour painting to be proud of and a smile of creative satisfaction on your dial.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
