The South Australian Watercolour Society was founded in May 2012 with the aim of promoting the practice and enjoyment of watercolours.
Membership is open to anyone with an interest in watercolours. There is no hierarchical membership structure, so the Society includes novices and accomplished artists alike with many of SA’s top artists included in the ranks.
Our Management Committee:
Erryn Munchenberg, President; Lisa Knill and Andrea Gregory, Vice Presidents; Helen Taylor, Treasurer; Pamela Saint, Secretary; Committee Members: Gerhard Ritter, Manijeh Tavakoli, Julie Arnold, Christine Adley, and Lynda Fanshaw.
What We Do
Weekly painting sessions
Saturdays, 10 am to 1.00 pm alternating between the Marchant Community Centre in Athelstone and 19 OnGreen at Brompton. See home page for details
Exhibitions
A variety of exhibitions are available to members both at the 19 On Green Community Centre gallery space and at other venues.
Workshops and demonstrations
Workshops are organised according to demand and are conducted by local, interstate and overseas artists. All abilities are catered for including beginners and advanced.
The first Saturday of each month we hold a ‘Fund-a-mentals’ workshop to learn different techniques from our artists and have some fun. Cost is $10 for members and $15 for non-members.
