Just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful class today. It was a real eye-opener! The emails have been flying thick and fast tonight, between the members, all agreeing what a great day we had today, in every respect. Can't wait for your next lesson - you are a very talented tutor as well as a wonderful artist.

Hi Jan, I enjoyed the workshop and I learnt a lot out it, the other students were nice to work with and it was pleasant to see a wide range of topics. I have a drawing project that I have been working on for a number of years now and this will help me keep inspired.

I really enjoyed those four days at the workshop, everybody was so nice, and it really broadened the horizon for me. Your teaching is impeccable; I'm very honoured to have learned from you! Thanks again!

I’d like to thank you both for making today such a happy one for Fred.  He was very tired when he got home but he had a lovely day and couldn’t stop saying how kind you were.

NEXT TWO WORKSHOPS/EVENTS

Horsham, Vic.

12-16/1/2026

9:00am

Experimental Interpretations of Nature

SUMMER BRUSHES art retreat.
https://www.grampianarts.com.au/summer-brushes-jan-lawnikanis.html

This fun workshop will give participants a greater range of styles for painting watercolours with experimental techniques. Unexpected but lovely results will be created. Colour balance, composition, cropping and negative painting with gouache will help resolve the abstract effects.
 
Some techniques are based on the work of Ann Blockley, while others are inspired by Lena Gemzoe, Tony Smibert and other artists.
