  • 5/5 from Suzanne Gordon, attended Jun 2026: I enjoyed very much my workshop with Pascale in watercolour painting. Pascale was encouraging, patient and I learnt so much from her in just one session and the time flew by. She supplied all the materials as well which made the course great value and follow up activities and guidance offered. Thankyou Pascale!
  • 5/5 from Mandy Hennock, attended Jan 2026: Great day.. loved the small class size.. Pascale was amazing and patient serving of morning tea was an extra treat.. would recommend … Mandy
  • 5/5 from Joanne Lawrence, attended Aug 2025: Pascal was a wonderful teacher who took us through some beginning techniques which included making our own colour swatches. I learned more in this class than in other watercolor classes I’ve attended. There was only three of us in the class and this made it even more special as we were closely supported. I will definitely be doing another class with Pascal.
  • 5/5 from Savannah Davenport, attended May 2025: Pascale was lovely, very friendly and helpful and informative. Only 2 of us in the lesson and we got to keep all the paints and brushes she gave us to use. Thank you Pascale!
  • 5/5 from Hayley Crawford, attended Feb 2025: My teacher Pascale was warm, funny, friendly, knowledgeable, and created a relaxed environment where I could have a go and not worry about making mistakes. She said that was all part of the process. Her teaching style was hands on and engaging, and she generously had a kit all ready for me! We started off with the basics, learning about colour and intensity, important brush strokes, and then she gradually built upon these until I walked away with actual frameable art! I loved every minute of it. Perfect for beginners. Merci Pascale!
  • 5/5 from Meysam Rad, attended Oct 2024: I Just took the course as my birthday gift. The teacher was really friendly and not only tried to teach us the techniques but also shows us how to enjoy while painting. I loved the session.
  • 5/5 from Anne Ferguson, attended May 2024: Yesterday I attended the Watercolour Art Class for Beginners - and it really was for beginners! Pascale started with the basics: the colour wheel, colour swatches, brush techniques, etc. I had been very nervous because I could not draw to save my life. Pascale was encouraging and affirming. As the workshop progressed, I gained confidenceand was able to paint two very rudimentary landscapes. I need lots of practise but now I know where to start. Pascale is a born teacher and a passionate artist. I strongly recommend this workshop.
  • 5/5 from Agatha Lyons, attended Jan 2024: I learned a lot from this class. Pascal is so nice a very generous with her tips and advice. Great starting point if you are interested in watercolour.
  • 5/5 from Gabriella Barnett, attended Jan 2024: I learnt so much from Pascale! She was so helpful, encouraging and gave me loads of feedback. She helped me believe in myself and never once did I feel embarassed. The kit she provided was excellent and taught me all about paint, brushes and paper. I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning about how to paint.

  • 4/5 from Ramya Badrinath, attended Jul 2023: The best 3 hours of my weekend. Enjoy learning all the techniques. Pascale is an amazing teacher - and she was able to make learning so much fun with tonnes of tips during the session. Highly recommend if you want to learn your watercolour technique from an expert.
  • 5/5 from Alex Penna, attended May 2023: This was a great class, the watercolour paints, brush and paper that you're given all seem high quality and there's a lot of freedom to explore the different techniques that are taught. Pascale does a great job of balancing letting you try things out on your own, making mistakes and learning, with giving really helpful suggestions and will pay attention to the kind of style that you're leaning towards and help you move in that direction. She was really kind, helpful and fun!
