Recent reviews of Outdoor Floral Watercolour Painting Workshop

• 5/5 from Adriana White, attended Feb 2025: It was a pleasant and enjoyable time spent learning a new skill in a lovely environment with Pamela who, was enthusiastic about her craft and it showed in the way she expressed herself and how she taught us how to use watercolours to produce our own unique floral artwork. Pamela was so encouraging and also a wonderful host who baked a delicious apple cake to share on our tea break. Thank you.
• 5/5 from Linda Rowntree, attended Mar 2024: A great gift from my son! Pam was a very lovely and efficient teacher. She demonstrated very clearly and redemonstrated when needed. Materials were high quality. We all walked away with new skills and an accomplished art work
• 4/5 from Karyne Ang, attended Mar 2024: Pamela is a great teacher, and showed us the various tools used in water colour painting - brushes, different papers and textures and tube vs cake pan paints. Using just 1 brush, she showed us a variety of brush strokes to achieve different types of leaves, stalks, berries, petals. I gave it a 4 star Good rather than 5 star Great only because although the workshop indicated 'Outdoor Florals' and my expectation was that we would sit in nature (or outdoors) to paint florals. The instructions said to bring sunscreen, hat and walking shoes! However, we spent the whole time on a sheltered balcony overlooking a garden. She did picked some leaves and flowers in a vase, but we did not use it for painting (except to look at a sprig of little pink flowers as inspiration). The whole session was spent learning to paint imagined florals (roses, boronias, lavenders, ferns, berries). If one did not know what a boronia looked like, it would be difficult to capture the essence of the flower. Venue: Her balcony was spacious and beautifully set, and all in all, still a relaxing way to spend a freehand watercolor painting session. I did enjoy Pamela's workshop. She structured it well and I came out of it with new techniques, courage to use some beautiful watercolour paper, produced samples of different strokes, wet on wet, wet on dry, and an integrated floral art piece, and as a bonus she baked us a delicious plum cake with tea and coffee!
• 5/5 from Elizabeth Flett, attended Jan 2024: Pamela is a fantastic teacher. She is talented, supportive and delivers a great learning experience. The venue was idyllic and the delicious afternoon tea was a bonus. I highly recommend this class.
• 5/5 from Rebecca Yee, attended May 2023: It was excellent! Ran very well. Even though I have almost no creative streak, Pamela kept things simple and I managed to produce something that looked good. She even provided cake and tea. All of the people I went with (because it was for a hens) thoroughly enjoyed it.
• 5/5 from Michele Driscoll, attended Feb 2023: After giving us a comprehensive introduction to the tools used in water colour painting, Pamela expertly demonstrated simple brush strokes to produce a variety of different shaped leaves and petals. Trying out brush strokes, sitting on Pamela's verandah was peaceful and relaxing and a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. It was good to be able to explore different paints, brushes and papers to work with. Pamela's workshop was full of generous instruction, materials and a sumptuous afternoon tea. It would be difficult to say what I enjoyed the most - All of it!

• 5/5 from Heidi Langshaw, attended Jan 2023: I really enjoyed the simplicity of the class & Pam’s teaching. We were shown the basics then how to put it together. She was approachable & quick to show us where we were going wrong & how to fix it. Usually by adding more water & thinking less

• 5/5 from Gina Villar, attended Jan 2023: Thoroughly enjoyed this beginners class in watercolour. Pamela was terrific - warm, welcoming, excellent at explaining the techniques & making watercolours fun & accessible for beginners. There were plenty of materials, plenty of opportunities for experimenting & learning & plenty of opportunities for guidance. The location was perfect - on a deck overlooking the garden, with plenty of space & natural light. Icing on the cake was a delicious spread for afternoon including home-made scones, home-made blackberry/blueberry jam. Too good. Thanks for a terrific workshop, Pamela, much appreciated.

• 5/5 from Alex Coombs, attended Oct 2022: Great class! Pamela was an excellent teacher. I went with a friend who is quite an artist whereas I'm a bit more timid. She was very inclusive and addressed students at all levels of proficiency with really insightful help. My friend and I were really impressed. Will definitely be attending further classes.
• 5/5 from Stephen Coombs, attended Oct 2022: What an amazing class! Pamela certainly knows her subject and gave us a mass of useful tips and advice on everything from techniques to materials. Her own tiny paintings seem effortlessly beautiful but she showed us all how to confidently find something magical in our own work. Inspirational!
