What you'll do

Christmas Botanicals Workshop

Take part in this relaxing watercolour workshop, learning watercolour illustration while having afternoon tea, occasionally we do collaborations with cafes, dessert shops, and even Boba tea stores!

This workshop is completely beginner-friendly, we will guide you through basic watercolour techniques and demonstrate how certain watercolour textures are achieved in this painting.

For students who have no experience in drawing, do not worry because we'll provide different outline templates also. Join our relaxing New Year afternoon tea and paint your lucky mandarins!

You'll learn basic techniques, including perspectives (how to draw objects based on their distance and angle to you), sketching (drawing outlines with pencils to then overlay with watercolour), and watercolour techniques (like how you should draw different textures).

You'll be amazed by how much you'll learn in a short amount of time, and the stunning illustrations you'll create!

I've been drawing since when I was a kid, I picked up watercolour as I really like the visuals you can achieve with that medium.

I taught some art workshops while I was in uni, and later continued it part-time. But I was passionate enough that I switched over to do this full time.

I draw in my diaries as a creative way to record my daily life and memories.

I particularly love drawing food (I just love food too much) and still life.

I find watercolour painting to be a very therapeutic hobby.

Hope to see you at one of my future classes!

Went with two friends of mine. Blair was knowledgable and extremely talented. The venue was easy to get to with plenty of parking/close to the station. The materials were great and it was a great class. We learnt different techniques and and enjoyed putting it into practice. It has definitely sparked a new hobby.

We organised a watercolour class for a Hens activity and the girls had a lot of fun.
Blair is so down to earth and is a brilliant teacher when it came to demonstrating techniques. Would be back to try her future classes!

Blair was great in teaching us the basics in a short amount of time, the dessert provided was delicious and I enjoyed it alongside a bush honey tea!

We learned a few basic watercoloring techniques and then got to give it a go on a sketch that was provided.

I had a great learning experience during the class. Concepts were explained in easy to understand modules and it was so much fun!

Jenny Qiu • Dec 2020

Blair is a approachable and helpful teacher. I like how the lesson was planned, with several key techniques explained at the start of the class in small chunks. Her class was also a lot of fun, and she knows how to build good rapport with her students.

Learning the watercolour techniques before we started painting was very useful, and Blair was great at guiding us as we painted.

Lydia San • Jan 2020

Great class taught in a cute open space! Blair is very talented! I liked how she split the class into different sections to help learn new skills then go on to put it into practice. I learnt some new skills and it was great to chat with her directly about all things watercolour from technique to equipment.

The teacher was fantastic, she made you feel that anyone could do this, and that she was there to help you every time if you needed her to. The location was easy to find. Altogether it was a relaxing afternoon that has built my confidence to try Watercolour on my own.

My daughter Lucy and I attended the Dessert and water colour class with Blair.
We learnt so much in a 2.5hour lesson, Blair was very patient and explained each step clearly we would recommend this class to all ages and ability. Fun Afternoon!

Interesting class. Helpful teacher who was kind and interactive. The class needs more organisation though I feel. It was a bit all over the place and ran over scheduled time.

Blair came to us for a 3 hour Watercolour workshop. She provided all the materials and showed us samples of her beautiful work. We agreed on a subject then she set to teaching us in great detail how to go about painting with watercolour. Blair was great fun, very passionate about art and patiently went through the process several times until we felt confident. We found the class very worthwhile and enjoyable. Thanks!

Annabelle Nguyen • May 2019

Blair was an extremely attentive and helpful teacher. Throughout the class her feedback was not generic, it was specific to each student and therefore making the whole experience wonderful. Would recccomend for a girls date or team building.

Alouise Somera • Apr 2019

Class was highly enjoyable and accessible for even us as beginner watercolour users. The space was clean and aesthetically-pleasing, and all materials were of high quality and provided for (food included!). The teacher was very flexible in allowing us to choose what we wanted to paint and gave us clear instructions on how to achieve what we wanted for our artworks. She was very supportive and knowledgeable, and I'd definitely recommend this class to anyone who enjoys painting or eating yummy desserts :)

Leah Hou • Nov 2018

Blair’s Class is excellent!
We had lots of fun decorating her studio into a fun afternoon party. Having dessert and painting them at the same time is very satisfying!
Blair is very fun to talk to and she is very helpful in teaching each steps of the painting. If there are some more watercolour theories and each step of the painting provided, that would be better!
Thank you Blair.:)

Jaclyn Kwan • Oct 2018

A very cozy studio, Blair has accomodated our hens party with lovely desserts, and easy to understand demostration of water colour techniques. We BYO foods and drink, making a nice afternoon tea party!

Blair hosted my sisters hens day event of the Watercolour and Dessert Class and it was amazing! Everyone got to eat a delicious piece of cake and we all got to create a cute cake artwork piece to take home with us.
The studio was the perfect set up for our event too so bright and pretty and I was able to bring drinks which we sipped on while we painted.
Blair was so helpful with guiding us with our art pieces and made the event so much fun. All the girls had a blast!
The class was so much fun with Blair and the concept, would recommend for groups or even individuals who want to try something unique of eating and drawing dessert as a class event!

Blair was a very friendly, approachable and knowledgeable teacher. You can tell that she loves what she does. The class itself was fantastic - nice venue, yummy dessert provided and great materials provided for our watercolour lesson. She taught us the concepts and techniques in a way that was really easy to understand and apply ourselves, as complete beginners. Great value for money overall

Nikos Maniaty • Jul 2018

I went with my partner and we both had lots of fun, and went from knowing nothing about watercolour to producing pretty impressive paintings in just 3 hours! Would highly recommend to anyone who’s interested in visual arts, or actually, anyone who’s just looking for an interesting and unique experience in Sydney!
