Alex was an amazing teacher, explaining everything thoroughly and thoughtfully. She was also very well prepared. Highly recommend!
• 5/5 from Jennifer Wong, attended Apr 2026: Perfectly delivered with a great breakdown of techniques that made me understand the cause and effect for watercolour as a medium. No more blindly adding water and hoping for the best haha. Love how Alexia links her exercises for practising the techniques back to her artwork to demonstrate the application of them. This is truly helpful for a beginner, from paper, brushes, pigments in a tube, etc, she's got it covered. We will definitely be back for more classes, esp. the birds! One recommendation I have is to let students know they don't have to save the paint so much front he beginning, bigger blobs for more intense colours to practise the techniques is fine and there will be plenty of paint for the rest of the class. More intense colours tend to show better effect of somwle exercises.
