• 5/5 from Benny Boehm, attended Sep 2026: This class was the perfect mother and daughter experience on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. We learned so much from Andrina who is clearly a talented artist but also a gifted teacher. I would absolutely do this class again and recommend it to anyone looking to learn or develop their skills! It was a very personalised session and my 9 year old and I were both able to get a lot out of the session. Thank you Andrina.
• 5/5 from Vanessa Melvold, attended Jun 2026: Andrina is a phenomenal artist and an excellent teacher. Very knowledgeable and explains, then demonstrates all the elements she teaches. We truly had the best afternoon learning to illustrate and bring life into our drawings with colour. I highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to flex their creative muscles.
• 5/5 from Teresa Swain, attended Jun 2026: Andrina’s watercolour class struck the perfect balance between learning technique and encouraging self-expression. Andrina herself was welcoming, kind, and incredibly encouraging. I thoroughly enjoyed the class and would highly recommend it. Can’t wait for the intermediate class
• 5/5 from Brittany Short, attended May 2026: As a complete beginner, I was a little nervous at first, but Andrina made the whole experience so welcoming. She was incredibly patient, explained everything clearly, and encouraged us to go at our own pace without any pressure. I learned so many helpful watercolour techniques and now feel much more confident to keep practicing at home. Highly recommend for beginners!
• 5/5 from Carly Reid, attended May 2026: I recently attended a watercolour painting class with Andrina and absolutely loved every minute of it. The class was incredibly well structured, making it easy to follow along whether you were a complete beginner or had some experience already. Andrina was so lovely, patient and knowledgeable, creating such a welcoming and calming environment from the moment we arrived. She explained techniques clearly, gave thoughtful guidance throughout the session, and made everyone feel encouraged and inspired. We learnt so many practical watercolour techniques that genuinely built our confidence and sparked creativity. The whole experience felt very zen and relaxing, while still being packed with real skills and learning that we can continue to use beyond the class. Such a beautiful way to spend time — highly recommend to anyone wanting a creative, calming and genuinely educational experience.
• 5/5 from Sam Parker, attended Apr 2026: This class is a great mix of fun watercolour practice and theory. Andrina was patient and very helpful throughout. Progressively showing different methods in a way that created mini abstract artworks before a final piece that used several of the methods just learned. It was a fun time. Thanks.
• 5/5 from Emma Lepeut, attended Apr 2026: What an absolute joy! Andrina had a lovely energy that made me feel safe right away. I had never done anything like that and it was a joy to get out of my comfort zone with her as a guide. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot! You also get to go home with the watercolour material (brushes, paper, paint), which is a proper treat to continue on your own! Will definitely be back. Thank you so much!!

• 5/5 from Sine Macpherson, attended Aug 2022: The water colour course was awesome I went in being a complete failure at painting in general (especially at school) to being pretty good and I at more confident in my self and I made some pretty cool things from a snake to some flower thing in a fish bowl. The teacher Andrina was very knowledgeable and steered me in the right direction even when I took water painting literally and used 10 times more water then paint and made a pool on my paper. I 100% recommended this to anyone one wanting to try or learn more water colour especially if u are in art at school as my school has never taught me watercolour and it’s just a great fun course all round. U also get three free brushes and are taught how to use them.
