Overview

Melbourne-based watercolour artist Kelogsloops has built a 1.4 million-strong following for his dreamy images. As a kid, he spent hours in his room, lost in his sketchbooks. As an adult, he turned his passion into a profession, and regularly exhibits in Melbourne, Los Angeles and New York.

Sharing his tips with others online has long been part of Kelogsloops' mission. And now, he's hosting a weekend of hands-on masterclasses in Brisbane, where you can learn from him IRL.

In a small group, you'll spend three days finding out how Kelogsloops merges traditional and digital techniques, drawing on all kinds of influences. These range from film and video games to masters like Monet and Klimt, and contemporary artists like Yoshitaka Amano and James Jean.

The masterclasses will focus on drawing and painting techniques, particularly mixing skin tones and colour, to create the stylised watercolour portraits that are Kelogsloops' specialty. Artists of all levels are all welcome. Whether you haven't drawn a picture since primary school or have a years-long practice, you're in with a very good chance of learning something new.
