🎨 Day 1 Painting – Huonville, Tasmania

A beautiful start to our first painting day here in Huonville 🌿

Set along the peaceful river, the group enjoyed capturing soft reflections, moody skies, and the stunning Huon Valley landscape. The calm water and surrounding hills made for the perfect plein air setting.

It’s always special to see everyone settled in and immersed in their work — each artist bringing their own perspective to the same scene.

A wonderful first day with a fantastic group… looking forward to the days ahead! 😊
