- 5/5 from Jessica Conroy, attended Jun 2026: My Mum and I enjoyed this watercolour painting galahs class. Shibi is a great teacher. We were impressed that all materials were provided and instructions were clear. This class was a bit more complicated than other ones, but we still enjoyed it.
- 4/5 from Jo Shaw, attended Jun 2026: Great subject. Could be a bit longer to allow drying time between steps
- 4/5 from Christina Reid, attended Jun 2026: All good, perhaps a little slow for me, but ok for beginners attending. Artist very friendly and helpful
- 5/5 from Anne Thompson, attended Feb 2026: Very enjoyable workshop learning a range of watercolour techniques. Our instructor, Shibi, was experienced, helpful, and explained everything clearly, which made it easy to follow along. The venue had great natural light with high quality materials. A relaxed, fun session!
- 5/5 from Joyce Hirshbein, attended Feb 2026: Very enjoyable workshop. I’m a first time painter, look forward to doing more. Our teacher Shiba was excellent, very helpful and informative, lots of techniques shown. Watercolour materials were great. The venue at Castle hill is like Aladdin’s cave, loved the music in the background.
- 5/5 from Lisa Horrigan, attended Feb 2026: A great little introduction to watercolour and the techniques you need to be successful, or just have fun with colour. The facilitator is very clear in her instructions and helpful when you need a hand.
- 5/5 from Natalie Lambert, attended Feb 2026: I really enjoyed the workshop. The teacher was easy to understand, knowledgeable, skillful and open to questions. She provided excellent support when needed and was very happy to repeat or reword instructions when requested. I would happily attend another of her workshops!
- 4/5 from Kay O'Brien, attended Feb 2026: Enjoyable class and learnt new watercolour techniques. Not sure if I like the end result, but enjoyed the process.
- 4/5 from Leslie Nicholson, attended Feb 2026: The teacher was very good. To improve it and make it easier for the teacher given the size of the class, I suggest having a sheet with colour swatches of the mixed colours to assist students to match them. E.g. when you mix red and blue the shade of purple depends on the proportion of each. I enjoyed the class. The paints were excellent quality too.
