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!

Blair was fantastic to work with, her workshop was perfectly paced and her camera was positioned perfectly so we can follow the step by step process. Blair was kind, supportive and professional. Thank you!

The watercolour class was honestly awesome. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable, breaking down techniques and colour mixing in a way that made sense for a beginner. I was pleasantly surprised by how cool my final piece turned out and left the class with a newfound love for watercolours! Thanks so much Blair

The gorgeous sun-drenched studio, friendly teacher and relaxed atmosphere made this experience so enjoyable! Blair's awesome pre-made painting templates make it easy for beginners to leave with an amazing finished painting. Thanks for such a relaxing afternoon learning watercolours Blair :)

Teacher was friendly and knowledgeable. Her own artworks are amazing.

She explained the concepts well and showed me some techniques I had never been able to do.

Class was fun and studio was quiet, clean and had nice sunlight coming in. It was a great experience

The whole experience was so relaxing and a lovely way to spend the afternoon! Blair showed us different watercolour techniques and we were able to choose from different designs to make our colourful pieces. It was so cool to see how each of us applied the different techniques in our own way. Blair answered any questions we had and was accommodating for all the different skill levels we were at. Her new space is inviting and bright. Would highly recommend taking one of her classes!

Blair's new venue is fantastic, so bright, light and easy to get to. I learnt so much about watercolour painting and was happy with my masterpiece. Was a great team event to say farewell to Bianca in the image. Thank you Blair we had a lovely time, you are so talented and I enjoyed looking at your portfolio too.

Went with two friends of mine. Blair was knowledgable and extremely talented. The venue was easy to get to with plenty of parking/close to the station. The materials were great and it was a great class. We learnt different techniques and and enjoyed putting it into practice. It has definitely sparked a new hobby.

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.

I really enjoyed Blair’s class on Saturday. This was my first experience with watercolour, and I found the instructions to be clear and Blair’s feedback was very positive and helpful. 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.

I’ve always wanted to paint, finally get to pick it up due to the lockdown. I tried to paint on my own and watched few videos but didn’t see much progress. I loved this class by Blair She pointed out a lot of mistakes from her experience and that’s exactly what I didn’t notice on my own.
The class is fun, interactive, informative Blair wait and ask after every demonstration to make sure everyone is keeping up, suitable for beginners!
It is worth mentioning that the painting kits provided are great quality at an very affordable prices. The extra add on of 100% cotton paper super absorbent rod, in short, I would recommend it to friends who like to paint, definitely will join Blair’s other classes:)

Painting class review by Matilda

Teacher's response

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.

Spending an evening painting with Blair was the perfect lockdown activity. She’s so incredibly vibrant and an amazing teacher. She understands how to teach from a beginner level and checked in with everyone’s previous experience prior to starting.

The equipment used is great quality and I received it interstate within 2 days. After the class I had a good laugh looking through her Instagram (madamgoose). She has a great sense of humour that comes through in her work. Such a talented painter. I will be back for another class for sure.

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.


Thank you again Blair

She did a private lesson for 3 of us today which we all loved and will be booking in due dinner more if her courses! Thanks Blair for a fun morning of creativity and conversation. Simone

Blair is a great teacher, and I had a lot of fun playing with the polymer clay. We went through how to make one of these little sculptures step-by-step, and then the techniques required to achieve succulents of all shapes and colour effects. Highly recommended!

Melissa Braun Feb 2021


Blair was wonderful, the class was a lot of fun & we had a great time! She’s incredibly talented & made it look so easy - & while the three of us newbies could only dream of results like hers, we were impressed with our attempts, all thanks to her instruction. Highly recommend both this class & Blair, it was so nice to spend a couple of hours being creative, learning a new skill & relaxing our minds. We’re already looking forward to doing another class.

Absolutely brilliant class! From the perfectly packaged supplies to Blair's wonderful demonstration on how to create these gorgeous clay succulents, it was brilliant from start to finish. I especially enjoyed that not only did you learn how to make the project, but you also are left with enough supplies to make your own in your own time.

We learned a few basic watercoloring techniques and then got to give it a go on a sketch that was provided.

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.

This online class was so fun. The box of supplies came quickly and had almost everything I needed for the course, just needed some basic household items (spoon and cling film) that I already had. Blair was a wonderful teacher, she did a great job explaining and showing details on the camera. The kit came with enough materials to make at least 9 small succulents pots (for my first one I made a small garden with three plants). I’m planning to turn mine into magnets and brooches. I highly recommend this class! Would make a great gift, too.

We did the Botanical Watercolour course with Blair (Mother Goose). She was fantastic. Materials provided were excellent and having an outline print to practice our skills on at the end was a great idea. Her instructions were very clear and easy to follow. The location was clean and spacious and easy to get to. Would highly recommend any of Blair’s classes to anyone. Hoping to do another one next time I’m in Sydney.

Blair was a great teacher, she was welcoming and made sure everyone understood her instructions. The room had a peaceful, friendly atmosphere and all our equipment was provided (even snacks and drinks)! We learnt how to do some basic watercolour techniques before working on our own paintings with the help of optional stencils. Everyone produced beautiful botanical watercolours at the end of the class :)

Well-structured class and a great use of time - Blair taught techniques that helped me build the confidence I needed to complete my first watercolor artwork.
Blair is so friendly and always ready to help and guide.
Wonderful materials, including templates that Blair had thoughtfully prepared to help guide our first artworks.
I'm now inspired to keep practicing.
Thanks, Blair!

Highly recommend for a relaxing afternoon.

Kanika Pathania May 2019


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.

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.

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.

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 think it is always difficult when one teacher is teaching 10 students but she managed the class well

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.

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!

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.
