Really had a fun time. Wendy was very informative and explained the technical componants of water colour painting. We practiced the different techniques and were able to do our own creation. We all did the same basic design, but of course they were all different. She provided guidance and suggestions along the way so I was able to came away with something I could share with others.
I would recommend it for people who are able to paint, but also if you like me haven't done it since school you will create worth while.

Wendy was very friendly. It was good to have the theory behind watercolours and paper before we got started. It was handy seeing the tips and then practising straight away. The instructions helped us all make a passable 1st watercolour painting. Only wish it was a bit longer.

This is the second time Wendy has come to our over 50's lifestyle estate to teach a class and the residents once again, loved it. Wendys directions were easy to follow, and we all came away with a fabulous painting to keep. We all had lots of fun and would definately do another class in the future.

I received a gift voucher for Xmas from my sister; I enjoyed a one-on-one beginner's session using watercolour. The technique's demonstrated by Wendy was simply Brillant. She walked through techniques step by step whilst sharing great product knowledge and tips. I was amazed how much I was learning whilst in the session!!!
Wendys is a warm personality and very clear in her instruction easy to follow.
I really enjoyed Wendys organization, as she was set up and ready to start session and everything needed for the class was at hand.
It was also quit therapeutic as Wedny created a quiet and calm space to focus in.
The techniques taught with the watercolours that day, has been a game changer and I am loving using what I had learnt.
I am enjoying my art more than ever and will be booking in with Gallery47 again. Thankyou Wendy :)

Lauren van Rooyen • Attended May 2026



I am a beginner and needed confidence and tips to get started. Wendy was an excellent and patient teacher. She was generous in sharing her supplies and giving me suggestions for purchasing quality materials and budget ones too. I walked away with some pictures I was proud of knowing I can apply this knowledge at home. Attending a class and chatting along the way, is much more fun though. Thank you so much Wendy. - also glad her home was in the suburbs and away from the traffic and city.

Janet Christophersen • Attended Nov 2025



A great class. Very well set up with great equipment and materials. Big square table with places for all to sit around during the class. Lots of delightful things, ceramic water boxes, lovely set up. Step by step instruction re techniques and materials which simplified the mystique of water painting. I can see the brushes needed, know the types of papers and attributes of each, saw the variety of paints and she advised re quality, and gave a list of places to purchase materials. I had two paintings to bring home and a grasp of basic techniques sufficient to get started on my own. The class in a way gave me permission in my mind to use the paint however I like to create as I pleased. Stress free class.
Nice teacher, I chose to purchase a kit to take home, brushes papers of several types, and delightful little paint box with hinged internal palate.
An easy drive from the city and parked out the front.
An excellent beginners class, supportive, no fail, with concrete understanding to take home.
I recommend the class.

Ness Santvoort • Attended Nov 2025

Helene Murray • Attended Jan 2025



I worked with Wendy in a previous role and so we had a good catch up AND I learned so much about water colour painting. It was so much fun and so cathartic. I felt like I achieved something. Wendy is a great teacher; efficient, professional and very generous. I highly recommend you take a class with Wendy at Gallery 47 even if you are just a little bit curious about this art form.

Tegan Grech • Attended Sep 2024
