About this event
Fed Square and the Koorie Heritage Trust present an outdoor drawing session with Dr Deanne Gilson, a proud Wadawurrung woman and visual artist. Deanne shares reflections on her practice, botanical knowledge and First Peoples' perspectives. Participants then draw new blooms and growth from life in the Test Garden, using oil pastels on black foamcore, and take their drawing home.
