Recent reviews of Botanical Illustration Class
- 5/5 from Britt Steindl, attended Oct 2025: Absolutely loved my first work-shop and first go at painting with watercolours. I literally booked last week for myself right off the cuff & glad I did. It was so relaxing and enjoyable that the 3 hours flew by and I wished I could continue painting all afternoon. The teacher Liana was lovely, very talented, patient, attentive and eager to answer all our questions. She also made many great recommendations for which paints, brushes, papers etc we should buy. The venue was great although parking a little tricky so definitely plan to leave earlier as it took me 15 mins of circling to finally find a 4 hour space. They had great materials, the room was bright & airy & with coffee, tea facilities too. I’ll definitely be booking another workshop there & will bring someone along next time.
- 5/5 from Jules Stephens, attended Oct 2025: I took my mum for her birthday and it was so much more fun doing the class together. Relaxed, fun, accessible and learned lots of new techniques.
- 5/5 from Anna Ottersbach-McLean, attended Jan 2025: Lovely class! Learnt lots of great techniques to get started on water colours and left with two paintings I was happy with. The teacher was super nice and had lots of knowledge and tips!
- 4/5 from Katia Rotar, attended Jan 2025: Great class, nice clear instructions.
- 5/5 from Kyleigh Larson, attended Jun 2024: Learned some foundational stuff that was super helpful for me to continue to watercolour for fun!
- 5/5 from Raphael van Workum, attended Jun 2024: Great class to expand your watercolour skills. Highly recommend for learners or new. Very practical.
- 5/5 from Karen Seow, attended Jun 2024: This is the second class I’ve done with Liana and it’s nice to have this class option available so you can try without investing a lot in equipment first.
- 4/5 from Sue Fraser, attended Jun 2024: Class was good value for money. Very relaxed atmosphere. Maybe more choice of paint colours would have been good. Teacher was very informative.
- 5/5 from Chelsea Hayes, attended Mar 2024: Lovely relaxing class with everyone working away quietly with music in the background. The class introduced basic watercolour painting techniques and was well paced. Liana guided us through painting a gum leaf in three stages, then we had time to work on our own choice of painting.
- 5/5 from Alex Bailey, attended Dec 2020: Liana was amazing. I brought my 8 year old son and she was so patient and gave great instructions. This was such a great item to tick off my bucket list and I will absolutely book booking another class. We both are complete newby’s at art and water colour and we thoroughly enjoyed the class.
- 5/5 from Anonymized Customer, attended Mar 2020: The teacher was very encouraging. I enjoyed being given the time to work on my painting without too much instruction (but support when I asked for it). Learnt a lot in a very constructive/practical environment.
- 4/5 from Ignatius Cheng, attended Mar 2020: The teacher is very professional and friendly. I have learn to use water colour in painting leaf and flower. It was an enjoyable experience.
- 5/5 from Alan Maulana, attended Jan 2020: She was really good, she taught me how to do this and that eventho it was really hard for me but I enjoyed it.
- 5/5 from Farheen Dossa, attended Jan 2020: Liana was great! She gave an overview regarding materials, technique and demonstration of how to use watercolours - simple enough for beginners. We were given two exercises which were both fun, but I felt a bit time poor considering the need to perfect one piece first! Good class overall :)
