Recent reviews of Beginner Watercolour Painting Course

  • 5/5 from Jenny Nguyen, attended Mar 2021: The class was really fun, the teacher was very knowledgeable and provided a variety of templates to paint on
  • 5/5 from Estelle Liedemann, attended Aug 2020: Lovely teacher and class. Easy to follow and she records it so you can watch it back later if you miss something.
  • 5/5 from Deonisia Soundias, attended Aug 2020: I loved this class. I got so much out of it. Just going through and learning how to mix and how to get gradation of colour was really useful! I am really looking forward to next class. Thank you so much Blair! This is the best class to do if you have never used watercolour. I recommend it.
  • 5/5 from Jacki Willardmartin, attended Aug 2020: Lovely class with no pressure. Learned a lot this lesson and I can't wait to learn more next week!
  • 5/5 from Mary Chiang, attended Apr 2020: I joined a private virtual watercolor lesson with a group of friends. Most of us have little knowledge on watercolor and it’s good to learn some basic techniques and start painting! Blair was very friendly and approachable. We all enjoyed the lesson!
  • 4/5 from Alice, attended Apr 2020: Blair was very nice. I think the class would be even better if we had more interaction with a step-by-step check on our work as well to maybe point out what we're doing wrong or doing right. Otherwise it would be a bit like watching a YouTube video.
  • 4/5 from Donna Birch, attended Apr 2020: My first class today & our teacher was a pro. Great visuals of all the techniques. Looking forward to the next one.
  • 4/5 from Maureen Ridgway, attended Apr 2020: The course, today, was well conducted and enjoyable. I will continue during the week mixing colours and the watercolour merge. Our teacher was very clear in her delivery. Thankyou MaureenRidgway

I've been drawing since when I was a kid, I picked up watercolour as I really like the visuals you can achieve with that medium.
I taught some art workshops while I was in uni, and later continued it part-time. But I was passionate enough that I switched over to do this full time.
I draw in my diaries as a creative way to record my daily life and memories.
I particularly love drawing food (I just love food too much) and still life.
I find watercolour painting to be a very therapeutic hobby.
Hope to see you at one of my future classes!
