Immerse yourself in the landscape that inspired Arthur Boyd and generations of artists with Nathan Hawkes

Use chalk pastels to interpret the ever-changing and diverse aspects of nature and landscape with artist Nathan Hawkes. Drawing on his own artistic practice, Nathan will guide participants through various drawing techniques to develop a small series of observational works that can be further refined after the workshop or used as a foundation for future creative explorations.

Led by professional artists, these workshops offer a fresh opportunity to connect with Bundanon's environment. Explore a variety of materials, techniques, and approaches as guest artists share their unique creative practice.

Open to all levels and abilities, whether you're trying something new or expanding your creative practice. All materials are provided.

Nathan Hawkes is an artist whose practice centres on drawing as a way of observing and responding to everyday visual dynamics and sensations. His works involve scratching paper, masking, and mark making with fingers and hands. He is a finalist in the 2026 Sulman Prize and exhibits at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Super Nature. His work is held in Artbank, the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and private collections.
