Greetings, I'm Shirin, an artist of watercolors and a guide in the vibrant city of Melbourne. The world of watercolors has revealed itself to be a realm of immense healing and boundless joy for me. It all began in 2011 as a simple hobby, but over time, it has blossomed into an unwavering passion that now graces each day of my life. Within the sanctuary of my personal home studio, I bring to life my creative visions.
My heart finds solace in painting enchanting flowers, drawing inspiration from the gentle whispers of nature to craft breathtaking landscapes. Additionally, the charm of cityscapes, bustling streets, and the stories etched onto the faces of people find their way onto my canvas. I extend a warm invitation to you to join me in this creative haven, where the intricate dance of color and water upon paper gives birth to exquisite artistry.
Allow me to be your guide as I share my techniques, enabling you to create your own masterpiece, a creation that you can proudly adorn your surroundings with. For a glimpse into my artistic journey, feel free to explore the links below.

Shirin was very warm and welcoming. The children had a great time, talked about how amazing their experience was and how much they learned. They would really love to take more classes with her.

Shirin is an excellent teacher A patient and gifted artist sharing her wealth of experience and knowledge. Watercolour painting does not need expensive materials to have so much fun. Being a novice, I left the session with a big smile on my face. It made me so happy I learnt so much in one afternoon, and I am so eager to try some more painting Thanks Shirin

I had the most relaxing afternoon learning how to paint with water colours with Shirin, she is an extremely talented painter and teaches clearly for beginners with a lovely Persian accent! The venue is perfect for this type of group and it was fantastic to see all her pieces displayed, as well as the ones she will be exhibiting soon.
All the materials are provided along with the generous offer of wine, coffee, tea and nibbles and a lovely framed water colour by Shirin herself was gifted at the end of the class.
I learned lots and will continue on painting with the aim of making greeting cards for friends and family with pretty floral designs. Thank you so much, I highly recommend this class, go with friends and enjoy bringing out your creative side!

Thank you so much for recommending the class to others. It means a lot to me to know that you had such a positive experience.

I loved Sherin’s watercolour landscape painting class. Sherin was generous with both her materials and her teaching tips, gave personal attention to what I was doing and helpful advice. She’s also an extremely talented painter herself. She clearly loves both doing and teaching her craft! Thanks for a great afternoon, Sherin! It was inspiring - especially seeing you produce the painting below in 20min flat to teach me extra skill after I’d finished my own painting! I’m looking forward to trying out my new skills with the materials you sent home with me!

I truly care about each student's growth and it warms my heart to hear that you have felt that genuine care. Creating a supportive environment is a top priority for me, and I'm glad that you have experienced that. If you ever need any extra help, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you again for your kind appreciation, and I hope to continue making learning a delight for you.
