Really enjoyed the class. I'm an absolute beginner. Blair kept it simple and was very encouraging and patient. I was slower to complete each step than other students so a tiny bit more time would have been nice. I have been inspired to keep practising what I've learnt and would recommend this class to anyone without any reservation.

She was patient with the group, as it seemed we were all at different levels of experience. The basics were very useful, so you could use this knowledge on other subjects, not just botanical. I would highly recommend this class.

I liked the structure of the class covering gradients, colour mixing (I really suck at this), wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry techniques. Then we put them all together to start a botanical painting. The time went so quickly, but there was enough time to get a handle on the basics. Blair was friendly and encouraging. I enjoyed the clas and happily recommend it to others.

Blair was good, she managed pretty well with a large group. We learned a fair bit it in a short time but the class did go a bit fast. Writing up some of the colour combinations and sending those in advance would make it easier to follow along with the exercises. Otherwise, tools and resources shared ahead of time were good. Blair made everyone feel comfortable and did a good job with instructions and engagement.

The class was okay. The teacher was kind and patient with the large class. Maybe less botanical watercolours and more very basic introduction to using water colour.
Reply from this teacher:
Thanks for your feedback, the class is designed based on the majority of the students are complete beginners. The reason to include the essentials basic techniques are from my past experiences that students won’t be able to achieve “painting” without the basic fundamentals.
This class is focused on basic techniques through botanical elements as described in listing, however I’m sorry to hear that if it didn’t suit your need :)

Unfortunately my kit was different to the other class member’s kits however the teacher did provide some tips on mixing colours. The other class members made one mini succulent during the class & we were shown examples of other succulent leaf styles. The teacher did send me more colours after the class & the class recording so I was able to make my first mini succulent after the class.

The class was well structured, with Blair covering the basics first before moving into different techniques. While the online channel allowed for a close viewing of the demonstration part of the class, I felt it would've been nice to have in-person support because I don't feel I got the hang of all the techniques (but this is hard to diagnose virtually). Would've benefited from about 30 mins longer, though the class did cover everything required to set up ongoing practice.

If you’re considering this class, but worried that you don’t have an artistic bone in your body. Never fear, I’m a complete newbie and felt very at ease with Blair. I expected to come out the other end with a kindergarten style finger painting. But with Blair’s wonderful instruction, I was pleasantly surprised with my output.

Watercolour Class with Dessert
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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Watercolour Class with Dessert
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!

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.

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!

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 :)

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.:)

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

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

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!
