Tania has been drawing since she was a little girl. Always dragging around a bag of coloured pencils and paper.

As an adult, she completed a Diploma in Art Education and then Fashion Design. After a successful career in both, she is now a qualified art teacher and practising botanical artist. Tania's amazing botanical art is all hand-drawn with a fountain pen and the blackest ink on archival rag paper.

Tania loves sharing her creative botanical passion with others. It doesn't matter if you have never picked up a pencil before or if you already have some drawing skills - Tania's classes are perfect for anyone who wants to share in the joy, fun and delight of learning to draw botanical flora.

Tania was very clear in her teaching and very patient and positive.
Highly recommend her.

Vince Wathen Mar 2024


very good informative workshop, Tania is a talented artist and an excellent tutor with heaps of knowledge and helpful advice based on her wide experience in the art world.
All materials are provided, as well as helpful guide sheets and templates.
Nice classroom location with good amenities.
I fully recommended this class.

Erica Walton Mar 2024


Great information and instructions. Tania made it easy to follow in a stress free setting.

Maureen Faas Feb 2024


I booked an extra session to work on two pieces done in a previous watercolour workshop and the Metallic workshop on the Saturday 3rd Feb.
Tania was very generous with her time and expertise while the other participants were doing their exercises and came back regularly to check if I needed any additional assistance.
It was a pleasure to meet everyone and see their templates at the end and to see the changes on my work.
It's always a pleasure to do Tania's workshop; everything is so organised!
Thank you

Botanical Ink Drawing Class for Beginners review by Maureen Faas - Perth

Maureen Faas Feb 2024


I've done two of Tania's workshops before and really wanted to do this one, but it took a while to get in. It was well worth the wait!
We had lots of metallic options from watercolours, inks, paints and pens with which to play and Tania took us through the steps with demonstrations at every point. We had 1 1/2 hours to do the final template but that time just flew by because everyone was having so much fun.
Definitely recommend this and any of Tania's other classes, but the Botanical Ink session is probably a good place to start

Brodie Jayne Lathby-Cook Jan 2024


Fantastic for beginners! Have not stopped painting since the class.

Very informative, easy to follow presented by a knowledgeable and passionate instructor.

Worth the time and money.

Maria-Therese McAdam Jan 2024


A patient and friendly and encouraging teacher, with a lot of excellent advice for those starting out on their watercolour journeys

Janet Bain Jan 2024


Our teacher was very knowledgeable. She conveyed really helpful, relevant information in a very clear manner, using timely demonstrations and providing positive, constructive feedback at all times.
The venue was very comfortable, appropriate and easy to locate.
The materials provided were great, and our teacher took the time to explain where they could be sourced so that we could access our own materials for future use.
I believe the experience represented good value for money. I learnt some great introductory skills in botanical water painting and produced a number of small pieces of work, which was very satisfying!

Rochelle Steven Jan 2024


Tania was a fantastic teacher. She has an excellent teaching style and I was so engaged in her descriptions and demonstrations. She shared so much useful information in a relatively short amount of time. Materials provided were great too.

Teresa Dix Jan 2024

What a fantastic session we had with Tania. She took us step by step to help us create a lovely water coloured card for the bride and groom. A warm and talented teacher who gave us great confidence. Would love to do more :)

Tania was a brilliant instructor, who guided a large, mostly inexperienced group through achievable and fun watercolour techniques, with a balance of humor and professionalism. The equipment provided was perfect for the day, allowing a choice between paints or pencils, and with plenty of work sheets and guides for everyone. Many of the class members started off with “I can’t do this, I’m not creative” to all creating a beautiful artwork piece, so thank you, Tania!

Michaela Watson Nov 2023


Tania was fantastic to work with to organise a bridal shower for my sister-in-law. We were able to meet at the venue before I had to confirm our booking; this was really helpful as it set the scene for planning the rest of the party. Tania had brilliant ideas and really got on board with the idea of the hen's party and how to make it special and unique. Our event had two lessons then we used what we had learned to each create a piece of art to gift to the bride and groom. You should have seen the stunning work we all did, even as total novices! She is the utmost professional as well as being good fun and an all-round gem of a human being. I can highly recommend her classes.

Jodie Matheson Nov 2023


Tania was a fabulous teacher. Great demonstrations and really engaging.
The class taught so many skills, and was really useful to learn basics of watercolour.

Looking forward to finishing my creation and creating many more :)

A fascinating course that developed my skills from scratch. Having built them in the first half, they were then put to use creating two pictures with a combination of washes and inks.

Parking is great, which is often particularly hard to get in that location.

Fabulous teacher, supplied great resources, managed the different personalities and confidence levels of the group really well. A very enjoyable afternoon that has encouraged and inspired me to be more creative.

Maria Herman Feb 2022


My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed the class and the instructor. Hours later we commented to each other on how much we learned and how much fun we had. We haven’t thought about drawing and art for years and now we’re talking about buying pads and pencils. We were supplied w everything we needed from water colors, water color pens, brushes, paper, plus a take home folder w many pages outlining the steps we were given to achieve various techniques. The 3 hours were well planned and yet everyone was encouraged to move at their own speed. The instructor was patient and considerate, and all safety guidelines for Covid were adhered to. I would recommend the class to anyone who’d like to learn more about water color, or even just wanted a break for 3 hours. It was calming and supportive, and provided a welcome vehicle to reconnect w one’s creative spirit.

This was a really fun class, got to experiment with beautiful metallic paints. Miss Daymond is a fabulous teacher, you learn the structure in a really easy and fun way in the morning and put it all to creative use in the afternoon.
The venue just lends itself to sparking that creativeness. It's a joy seeing what people
create at the end of the day. No need for any particular skills to sign up, just a passion to do and try something different. Absolutely recommend this class.

I had recently been to another 'art' class which was terrible (teacher and materials) so I was a bit nervous about attending this one. Miss Daymond's class and teaching was superb - I couldn't fault a thing. She is both highly skilled at running an adult education class as well as being an experienced and inspiring artist who provided quality art materials for the students to work with. She is also the first person I've come across who's done an acknowledgment of the traditional owners of the land at the beginning of the day- well done! I will certainly be back for more of her classes and hope that other ClassBento offerings I might try will be as good as this one. Thanks.

Michelle Coles Feb 2022


What a fabulous & relaxing morning. Tania is fantastic. I really enjoyed her demos, & loved my take home folder of templates & techniques learnt. I feel more confident & comfortable to have a go myself. My favourite tools were the watercolour pencils & the ink art. A very relaxing morning. Thank you Tania!

6 ClassBento workshops attended • 6 reviews


it was okay. I feel this workshop is really expansive, and there wasn't even a nice piece of artwork of your own can be taken back home at the end. Not really worth it for me.

Teacher's response

Hi Xin

I am so disappointed that you did not enjoy the workshop. I think perhaps you have misunderstood the two part workshop day and hope my explanation below helps with that.

You enrolled in the morning session 10-1pm which is based on fun exercises that are structured to teach all the beginner watercolor techniques using watercolor paints, pencils and ink. To complete the morning you are provided with extra templates in your kit to take home and explore the new techniques you have learned in follow up exercises in the comfort of your own home.

The afternoon session 1-4pm is where you create your single artwork based on native flora using all the techniques you learned in the morning - this is where you create your own artwork to take home with you.

The reason for the two parts is that sometimes the morning session is enough for absolute beginners to learn all the techniques.

For those wanting to perfect their new skills then they stay on for the afternoon session. To create a lovely piece of artwork to take home is only perfected in the afternoon session and not the morning session.

As you enrolled in the morning session you did not have the time or opportunity to develop your lovely artwork in the afternoon.

I take your feedback very seriously and will address the misunderstanding with the ClassBento team to see if we can make the two sessions clearer in their description.

You are very welcome to attend any afternoon session to finish the learning you started and to create you very own artwork to take home with you.

Wish you well
Tania

Miss Daymond Designs has the best art class I have ever been too, and I have been doing art my whole life. Miss Daymond Designs is an amazing teacher and I have learnt so much in just the one day.
All the meterials for the class were provided and at an extent quality. Not only that but the supplies are all easily accessible after the class too as we were all told exactly where to get them and they are inexpensive.
This class was very good value. And by the end of it we all had the skills to complete a beautiful botanical piece.
If you would like to learn how all about the techniques of water colour then I highly recommend this course to you! You will enjoy it and leave with all you need to continue your learning and journey of making watercolour master pieces!

Great day spent learning watercolour techniques and tips in a chilled setting with all the necessary tools provided. Tania is a very good teacher and although I’ve dabbled with the medium for many years, I’ve learned more in one day than I have in many years of reading books and watching videos. Well worth the time and a great way to spend a Saturday :)

An amazing class with a fantastic teacher. Taught us some very simple techniques to produce lovely botanical artworks. Great value for money. Will definitely attend more of these classes

Tania is a very experienced and confident artist. She has organised
Lesson very well. She is a relaxed and fair and very pleasant person. She treats people with respect. The class room is light and roomy with coffee and tea are available. I have learnt the right amounts of knowledge. I was given plenty information about material. I accept the cost is average but don’t want to pay more.

I attended the Botanical Painting Class recently. The teacher was very engaging, professional and knowledgable. I was taken step by step through the process and learnt a multitude of techniques. I recommend this class to anyone interested in spending time creatively.

Intimate and bright venue, knowledgeable teacher, I learnt some new skills, which I look forward to putting in to practice.
The voucher was a gift from my family, and a great present to receive.

I loved the Botanic drawing with metallics class with Tania. The venue was great and comfortable. Tania took us through the steps to create a beautiful picture by the end of the day. It was a relaxing and fun learning environment with Tania encouraging us along the way. I can't wait to book in to another class and in the meantime I'm excited to start some creations at home. I highly recommend this class. Thank you!

This class was just excellent! Everything we needed was supplied, the teacher was very knowledgeable and very approachable. You could come with no previous experience and come away with something you were proud of. The step by step approach made a good outcome almost inevitable. Highly recommended! Makes an excellent gift as well.

Beautiful workshop. As someone who has never worked with water colours, before but has always wanted to try, this was a perfect class to introduce myself to the medium.
Tania is highly knowledgeable in regards to not only the art, but the tools to be able to create work at home. She is warm and friendly and is able to provide her knowledge on a level that myself, a beginner, would understand. I think everyone who attended on the day said that they would seek out more of her workshops. 10/10.

A very enjoyable and positive experience even for absolute beginners ! (Like me).
Tania is warm and encouraging and has a very effective way of offering “warm up” practices that incrementally build up confidence and skill. She offers lots of ideas and suggestions for continuing with the learning and practice when you leave, and for inexpensive supplies, so that anyone can have a creative outlet. Highly recommended.

I have attended a number of Tania’s workshops before and have always been eager to return. Tania is an excellent teacher with well thought out lessons. She provides her class with a well presented work area stocked with all the tools you will need. The extra touches such as bottles of water, individual hand sanitiser and excellent student quality equipment make for a very comfortable day. Tania takes the time to explain the activity and is always available to go back and explain anything again or demonstrate any practical component. People of all skill levels will learn from Tania’s classes. If you want a professional and talented tutor in a relaxed, engaging and inclusive environment, then I would highly recommend any of Tania’s classes.

Such an enjoyable class. Tania has a genuine warmth that welcomes you and makes you feel at ease ready to paint. A friendly, relaxing class with great guidance and imparting of knowledge. I had not completed an art class since high school days (quite a long time ago) but found this style of art easy to pick up and Tania instils confidence that you can do it. Tania keeps you on track to ensure you have much of your piece easily completed before the days end. I can't wait to continue adding finishing touches to the protea I painted at home and I look forward to continue practicing my skills. I recommend this class for individuals or a group and look forward to completing more classes.
