Mum and I had such a great time doing this class. Andrina was lovely and the time really flew by. We had a specific project in mind and Andrina tailored the class to suit that including specific exercises to help us improve. We were really impressed and absolutely loved it - and came home with a great little kit of paint and brushes to get us started. Would highly recommend

I attended this workshop to explore some of the more creative aspects of my brain and Andrina was the perfect instructor to help me do that. Not only is she a talented artist but she is a gentle, attentive and knowledgeable teacher who encourages collaborative and inclusive learning (no matter what skill level you have). I definitely recommend this class.

Thank you Andrina for a fun, educational, and inspiring watercolour workshop! It was lucky to be in a small class and Andrina gave a lot of attention to each of us so we can learn and take the skills to express what we want to create. Andrina is so lovely, kind and encouraging that feels so supportive to learn. We were provided with all the art supplies and notes to take home to continue our artwork. I can highly recommend it!

I had an absolute blast! Beautiful venue, amazing people, gorgeous materials (and creations!). Andrina was so patient and encouraging, which created a wonderful atmosphere; right from the outset the class felt like sitting down with friends rather than strangers. Cannot recommend this class highly enough

Adrina was a lovely teacher. The small group format was lovely and intimate too.

Adrina guided us through technique and then supported us to create our own botanical water colour painting.

Give this class a go!

I thoroughly enjoyed the classI loved that we were shown the basics and then given a little project to do on our own. I would highly recommend this class if you are thinking about watercolour and don't know where to start. I would give 100 stars if I could

Rebecca Conley • Jan 2023


I loved this class on so many levels.
Andrina provided an informative yet extremely relaxed environment with lots of great techniques and tips to inspire me to explore and continue a long awaited interest in water colors. A wonderful experience which I’d highly recommend for anyone that doesn’t really know where to start as all equipment necessary was also provided.
I look forward to joining any future classes

Really enjoyed our workshop with Andrina. Such a beautiful location at The Nest and it was so great to be able to take paints and brushes home to continue practising the skills and techniques we learnt. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Learning to paint using watercolours with Andrina was such a wonderful experience! The space was light, spacious and immediately relaxing and Andrina had everything we needed ready to go. Her teaching style was very effective and encouraging and before we knew it we had started to form a beautiful butterfly and flowers, all while chatting as a group (none of us had met but Andrina set such a welcoming vibe we quickly relaxed and got to know each other). A fantastic experience I would highly recommend!

Absolutely great. Took my niece and nephew and they had a ball. Andriana was helpful and open to any and all questions that they had. She really clued in on what they wanted to explore in their development as artists, and she offered wonderful tips that they took home and immediately put to use, while also telling anyone who would listen about what they learnt.

We really enjoyed the class. We are both basic artists and many beginner's classes are not really beginner's. But this class really started from the beginning and was not intimidating at all.

I loved this class and was so surprised at how much progress I had made in just three hours. And rina was lovely – encouraging and knowledgeable and I liked the way she got us all to make small talk and chat.
Venue was great - central and good parking

I had a lovely experience with the watercolour class today with Andrina. She is a very warm, friendly lady and has a calming personality. I loved the small group, it felt quite personal. Her tutorial was easy to follow and she was very patient. The space in which the class was held made me feel like a true artist! I would highly recommend her class, she is a very talented artist

The water colour course was awesome I went in being a complete failure at painting in general (especially at school) to being pretty good and I at more confident in my self and I made some pretty cool things from a snake to some flower thing in a fish bowl. The teacher Andrina was very knowledgeable and steered me in the right direction even when I took water painting literally and used 10 times more water then paint and made a pool on my paper. I 100% recommended this to anyone one wanting to try or learn more water colour especially if u are in art at school as my school has never taught me watercolour and it’s just a great fun course all round. U also get three free brushes and are taught how to use them.

Lovely relaxing class to learn about watercolours and to explore it for yourself. Andrina gives you easy to understand instructions and demos and encourages you to go at your own pace and to play! Beautiful venue and definitely recommend it! Thanks for the experience!

Great afternoon of creativity with Andrina. I enjoyed learning ways to use the brush to make different marks on the page. Andrina set up the space beautifully at the Nest and we even had a little package of brushes and paints to take home.

I had a wonderful experience in a class of 6. We got plenty of direction and time for questions and one on one support if needed. Our teacher was lovely, supportive and approachable.

Such a beautiful creative space to paint in and Andrina was an excellent teacher. She talked us through many techniques during the warm up exercises and shared a lot of techniques then explained in detail how to achieve what we needed when painting the final designs. The class was relaxed yet informative as we painted plants and lovely butterflies. I learnt so much in this lesson and Andrina was a fantastic teacher, so knowledgeable and patient- with a sense of humour that made it a very comfortable space to be learning in. I highly recommend this class! Ten stars!
