Recent reviews of Watercolour Basics Workshop: Japanese Florals
- 5/5 from Elizabeth Nyman, attended Oct 2026: Gino was an excellent teacher. He gave us lots of good tips and tricks. I enjoyed it immensely
- 4/5 from Izabela Labuda, attended Oct 2026: Enjoyed the class and Gino was a great teacher. However I think trying to do two paintings in the 3 hours was a bit ambitious. I understand why we did as the paint had to dry but maybe a smaller work would be better or some practice pieces with brush work, colour, technique, etc. Overall I had a good time
- 5/5 from Leanne Schubert, attended Sep 2026: Watercolour basics workshop-Japanese cherry blossoms and bamboo was a fun way to learn about and experiment with a range of basic watercolour techniques. I really liked that Gino was generous and flexible in his teaching approach and encouraged participants to bring their individual sensibilities to the image we were creating which ensured diversity in the work produced.
- 5/5 from Luana Genua, attended Sep 2026: Interesting background/cultural information and knowledgeble teacher. Really interesting techniques that were achievable, especially the background and salt techniques. Everything provided, organised so one could turn up & relax.
