About
Step off the beaten track and into one of the world's most breathtaking landscapes.

Kimberley Painting Workshop with Debbie Mackinnon
With a focus on playful experimentation rather than polished outcomes, the week is designed to spark new ideas, deepen your creative voice, and connect you to the land in a truly meaningful way. Expect to sketch beneath boab trees, respond to the colours and textures of the bush, and use foraged tools to make surprising, instinctive marks. Daily sessions include time to explore, reflect, and develop your work using a range of materials and processes, with demonstrations by Debbie. Some painting experience will be useful, but the retreat is open to all who are ready to explore, take creative risks, and be inspired by place. All levels of artist welcome. On The Verandah is a small, family-run, accredited Western Australia tourism business specialising in Kimberley art workshops since 2013. When you join an On The Verandah trip you can leave the meal prep, organising and driving to them. Simply paint, learn and enjoy the food and conversation! Debbie Mackinnon is an Australian landscape painter known for her abstracted style, capturing light, weather and colour. She "brings the 'outside in" and challenges realism by blending observed elements and multiple moments.
Kimberley Painting and Drawing Workshop with Judith White
This Kimberley painting holiday for more experienced artists is rich with bespoke experiences, insider access, an expert tutor and experienced guides. Art sessions with Judith are interspersed with excursions and special encounters, staying six nights at the cattle station, Digger's Rest. Learn advanced painting techniques with one of Australia's leading contemporary artists, Judith White. Art sessions usually begin with outdoor drawing sessions using a variety of materials, moving to the verandahs to develop works. Guests say the reason they come back year after year for Judith's workshops is because they learn so much and grow exponentially as artists.
