PROFILE
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!

Botanical Watercolour Workshop
Great value and teaching. Had the perfect amount of guidance and materials provided were high quality, including templates we were able to take home.
Amy Schmitz
Fun environment, great step by step technique tutorial and surprising final artwork! Loved every minute!
Lydia San
Great class taught in a cute open space! Blair is very talented! I liked how she split the class into different sections to help learn new skills then go on to put it into practice. I learnt some new skills and it was great to chat with her directly about all things watercolour from technique to equipment.
Julie Andrews
My daughter Lucy and I attended the Dessert and water colour class with Blair.
We learnt so much in a 2.5hour lesson, Blair was very patient and explained each step clearly we would recommend this class to all ages and ability. Fun Afternoon!
Jo Goh
Blair is a wonderful funny teacher and entertaining. She is great at explaining techniques and demonstrating. I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop :-))) I’m a big fan of her work and so glad I got to meet her
Joanne Lim
Botanical Watercolour Workshop
We had the class with the lovely teacher. She taught us different techniques on how to watercolour and also provided templates for us and watercolour paint to bring home as well. Lovely experience and will definitely be going to another class with her as she was great.
Christina Cardillo-Zallo
Interesting class. Helpful teacher who was kind and interactive. The class needs more organisation though I feel. It was a bit all over the place and ran over scheduled time.
Avie Malabag
I enjoyed this class. Dora is really good, she explains and demonstrated it well. Love the materials that was provided.
Irene Lay
It was an exciting day, Blair make us feel like a real artist. It’s a relaxing place and just so casual. We didn’t want to leave.

Botanical Watercolour Workshop
I thoroughly enjoyed my 2.5hrs being taught by Blair. She is lovely and very patient. I learned so much and I will probably be back again for another watercolour session.
Dawn Ng
Blair was a great teacher and explained various styles we could use. Tramshed was a great location with a good vibe and energy. Material provided were good and so were the desserts and drink. Would definitely sign up for more workshops with Blair! :)
Amy Collorafici
Blair hosted my sisters hens day event of the Watercolour and Dessert Class and it was amazing! Everyone got to eat a delicious piece of cake and we all got to create a cute cake artwork piece to take home with us.
The studio was the perfect set up for our event too so bright and pretty and I was able to bring drinks which we sipped on while we painted.
Blair was so helpful with guiding us with our art pieces and made the event so much fun. All the girls had a blast!
The class was so much fun with Blair and the concept, would recommend for groups or even individuals who want to try something unique of eating and drawing dessert as a class event!

Draw and Eat at Madame Shanghai
This workshop was very good, the food was amazing. We had a great experience and I can totally recommend this!

Draw and Eat at Madame Shanghai
This was a great class! Everything was well organised, and the food was delicious, served beautifully and in generous portions. We liked the fact that every booking had their own private table, yet the group was seated together. Blair was a very nice teacher who obviously thought well about the assignment she gave us. She made sure everyone learned new things but that it wasn't too challenging for total beginners. A very entertaining workshop, we learned a lot and went home with a nice result to keep.
Angela Ricketts
Draw and Eat at Madame Shanghai
The class was great for beginners like myself. There was enough time to draw and paint as well as enjoy the delicious food & cocktails at Madam Shanghai. Blair was always available for questions & painting tips.

Blair is a talented artist and wonderful teacher, and her kind and supportive attitude made this a very enjoyable and creative experience.
Shale Preston
Botanical Watercolour Workshop
Enjoyable class with personable teacher. A nice way to spend an afternoon. Best to travel by train or park in a nearby side street off the main road. Can't park on the main road.
Dale Tucker
The teacher was fantastic, she made you feel that anyone could do this, and that she was there to help you every time if you needed her to. The location was easy to find. Altogether it was a relaxing afternoon that has built my confidence to try Watercolour on my own.
Venessa Cowell
Botanical Watercolour Workshop
Warm delightful teacher
Clear instruction and skills learnt from the class
Will definitely do again
Suggest Blair has her art to purchase on the shelves bc I would have purchased some!
Thank you !
Christie White
Botanical Watercolour Workshop
Fantastic class - I was a complete beginner with watercolour and came away with some new skills and a painting I was really proud of! Blair was a lovely patient teacher, and also had some templates on hand which was really helpful for those of us less confident with sketching. I'd love to do another one of her classes
Lea Dawson

Julie Tran

Ingrid Monaghan
Botanical Watercolour Workshop
Blair was so lovely and an excellent teacher. She provided us all with tips and tricks as well as great tools for us to create a protea flower.
Jamie Warnert
Botanical Watercolour Workshop
The class with Blair was great - she was a lovely teacher and very encouraging, even for beginners! She's clearly talented at what she does but breaks down the shapes and colouring to make it look very easy. Venue was perfect and really convenient being right across from the train station. Highly recommend for a relaxing afternoon.
Sharon Luk
Teacher was good brought us cheesecake and provided all materials. Was a casual class good for groups.
Kanika Pathania
I thought Dora was great, the value of the workshop was overpriced was a bit with no beverages or food was available for the 2.5 hrs and started a bit late (because of late comers) and finished bang on time. They did give yummy popcorn I guess but for the price I paid I was expecting a really nice workshop. They did give a quill and ink to take home which was good but it was such a disappointment that I didn’t get the wooden quill stand that I assumed I would get.
I would recommend it for Dora and her great teaching style and knowledge but don’t expect any add ons.
Ming Lum
Dora was a wonderful teacher and provided a great introduction into modern calligraphy and provided some great tips. The venue was a nice and relaxing environment to learn in.
Liz Chan
Dora was a great teacher. She was very thorough in her techniques and helped us all individually. Highly recommend!
Robyn Larbalestier
Blair came to us for a 3 hour Watercolour workshop. She provided all the materials and showed us samples of her beautiful work. We agreed on a subject then she set to teaching us in great detail how to go about painting with watercolour. Blair was great fun, very passionate about art and patiently went through the process several times until we felt confident. We found the class very worthwhile and enjoyable. Thanks!
Annabelle Nguyen
Blair was an extremely attentive and helpful teacher. Throughout the class her feedback was not generic, it was specific to each student and therefore making the whole experience wonderful. Would recccomend for a girls date or team building.
Sunisa Somluecha
I really enjoyed the class with Blair. She was very flexible. I was the only person in the AM class as the other changed to the PM one, Blair let me choose what I wanted to paint. She was very friendly and helpful. The venue was super convenient just right in front of Train station.
Ps. Thank Blair for the yummy cake! I’ll be back for another class!

Botanical Watercolour Workshop
I signed up for bontanical watercolor workshop with 4 of my friends and it was a very chill and relaxing time overall! The teacher accommodated to our level of skill and it was a very patient in giving us tips :)
Alouise Somera
Class was highly enjoyable and accessible for even us as beginner watercolour users. The space was clean and aesthetically-pleasing, and all materials were of high quality and provided for (food included!). The teacher was very flexible in allowing us to choose what we wanted to paint and gave us clear instructions on how to achieve what we wanted for our artworks. She was very supportive and knowledgeable, and I'd definitely recommend this class to anyone who enjoys painting or eating yummy desserts :)

Lindy Barry
Botanical Watercolour Workshop
Fantastic step by step instructions. Blair was very organised and gives helpful tips to get the process off to a smooth start. She is highly creative and has lots of experience with watercolour techniques. I would love to do more classes with her.
Leah Hou
Blair’s Class is excellent!
We had lots of fun decorating her studio into a fun afternoon party. Having dessert and painting them at the same time is very satisfying!
Blair is very fun to talk to and she is very helpful in teaching each steps of the painting. If there are some more watercolour theories and each step of the painting provided, that would be better!
Thank you Blair.:)
Ronald Ho
I enjoyed this introductory class that Blair taught. She was very personable and welcoming and made the environment very relaxed. I thought it was particularly helpful how she had prepared all the materials for us and explained the purpose of each. I think it is always difficult when one teacher is teaching 10 students but she managed the class well
Maria Thomaidis
Friendly teacher, food was great, maybe next time spend a little time on technique to give us a better understanding on how to get the best out of "Water colours" Overall great.
Jaclyn Kwan
A very cozy studio, Blair has accomodated our hens party with lovely desserts, and easy to understand demostration of water colour techniques. We BYO foods and drink, making a nice afternoon tea party!
Emma
Blair was a very friendly, approachable and knowledgeable teacher. You can tell that she loves what she does. The class itself was fantastic - nice venue, yummy dessert provided and great materials provided for our watercolour lesson. She taught us the concepts and techniques in a way that was really easy to understand and apply ourselves, as complete beginners. Great value for money overall
Nikos Maniaty
I went with my partner and we both had lots of fun, and went from knowing nothing about watercolour to producing pretty impressive paintings in just 3 hours! Would highly recommend to anyone who’s interested in visual arts, or actually, anyone who’s just looking for an interesting and unique experience in Sydney!
