5/5 from Ruby, attended Oct 2026: Such a special and intimate workshop in the most beautiful studio! Orchid is very talented and leads the class with such skill, patience and care.

5/5 from Marta Kocsis, attended Aug 2026: I've always wanted to learn the correct way to use watercolor and the class with Orchid did not disapoint. Orchid explained the techniques we were going to use aswell as the how's and why's. After a little practice, we went straight onto the final product. It was lovely to spend time learning something new in a relaxed environment.
5/5 from Lubaina Huzefa, attended Aug 2026: My friend and I greatly enjoyed our first water coloring class organized by Orchid. It started off with an introduction to the different brushes and strokes and once we got the hang of it, we moved on to painting our "masterpiece"
5/5 from Marina Kalcina, attended Aug 2026: Me and my daughter really enjoyed this class. Orchid is a wonderful teacher!
5/5 from Claire Bell, attended Aug 2026: Fantastic, informative class. The teacher is kind, patient and encouraging. I began the class knowing absolutely nothing about watercolour painting and left with enough knowledge and confidence to begin my own painting adventure. Highly recommended.
5/5 from Jasmine Luong, attended Jul 2026: A wonderful, thought out class taught by such a patient teacher in Orchid. The fact that we also got taught the foundations of watercolour painting as well as the aiming to paint the art itself was great as it felt like an amazing introduction into the medium to try on our own/further ourselves should we wish to! This was a private class I booked for my work team and my team raved about how it was different and also calming. Thank you again.

5/5 from Shashika Darshanie Mallawarachchi, attended May 2026: I just wanted to share that my 9‑year‑old daughter and I had a wonderful watercolour session yesterday. Orchid is exceptionally skilled at what she does—she guided us closely, stepped in with direction whenever needed, and created a calm, supportive, and approachable environment. Her teaching style really helps you absorb the techniques while practising. I highly recommend her, and we’re already looking forward to booking more sessions to continue developing our skills.Below is the project completed by my daughter

It is easy to organise a gift card through Bento and we’ll definitively be visiting Orchid, again, very soon! Thank you so much.

5/5 from Elisa Lay, attended Sep 2025: The watercolor class was incredibly calming and therapeutic.

Her gentle guidance made the sessions both enjoyable and educational. I highly recommend her classes to anyone interested in watercolor painting.
