Watercolour Leaf Painting Class for Beginners

Recent reviews of Watercolour Leaf Painting Class for Beginners

• 5/5 from Kaylene Ross, attended Sep 2026: I loved my class Alex is an excellent teacher very patient. Very happy with the results.
• 5/5 from Sue Carne, attended Sep 2026: If you'd like to try a bite sized taste of watercolour painting, this one is for you. Alex presents as a quietly spoken artist interested in sharing simple techniques and steps to guide you to paint a unique leaf shape on watercolour paper. She shares some info about water colour paints and paper, brush use, and then guides you using a digital camera and large screen how to try it yourself. It was a really enjoyable 3 hours with Alex.
• 4/5 from Anne Marie Pigott, attended Sep 2026: Alex is a great teacher, informative yet relaxed. She demonstrates techniques, talking through the whys and wherefores of why things work and why they don’t. I found her very helpful individually, supporting but not taking over my work. This is a thoroughly enjoyable class.
• 5/5 from Debb Ellem, attended Aug 2026: Great class... Easier than expected
• 5/5 from Sally Mitchell, attended Aug 2026: Excellent class. Despite being aimed at beginners we created some beautiful leaf paintings and left with skills to carry forward. Thanks so much, Alex!
• 5/5 from Leoni Dunlop-Ehmen, attended Aug 2026: We absolutely loved this class. Alex was so supportive and took us through the process step by step. The location was great and the atmosphere was relaxed. In addition to the leaf painting exercise, Alex generously shared tips on what paper to use and where to get suitable supplies. We had a lovely time :)
• 5/5 from Megan Rodi, attended Aug 2026: This is my third class with Alex and definitely the most fun. Loved getting creative with different coloured leaves. Such a relaxed and welcoming vibe as always. I’ll definitely be back.
• 5/5 from Lesley Evans, attended Aug 2026: This was the first time I've painted as an adult. Alex took us through some techniques. I enjoyed this as a learning process and will continue now on my own. I'll probably take another class in the future.
• 5/5 from Mitch Hogfalt, attended Jul 2026: Alex is an amazing instructor, I’m not much of a painter but am willing to learn styles and I enjoyed the relaxed way the class as held. It was a small class which then gave everyone time to paint and ask questions about the painting process
• 5/5 from Kerry Green, attended Jul 2026: This is my 3rd class with Alex. She is a very inspiring teacher. She patiently answers all my questions and always helps with technique and support. Great location and atmosphere- highly recommend Alex’s classes

• 5/5 from Susan Vears, attended Jun 2026: Can’t recommend this highly enough! Such an enjoyable experience and Alex was just lovely. She taught us with ease and at a really good pace so we didn’t feel overwhelmed. Learnt lots and makes you want to do more! Thanks Alex
• 5/5 from Catherine Hoey, attended Jun 2026: Another brilliant class by Alex. I cannot get enough of these classes, this is my fifth! If that's not a recommendation, I don't know what is! Great fun
• 5/5 from Colleen Willmot, attended May 2026: This is my second class with Alex Louisa. This is not a “paint and sip” style class - you actually learn real skills in a relaxed atmosphere with others who are also keen to learn. Can’t wait to do more.
• 5/5 from Simone Schofield, attended Apr 2026: Alex's classes are so much fun and perfect for beginners
• 5/5 from Taryn Raymond, attended Apr 2026: What an awesome class! We’d never used watercolour before and found the way Alex taught and explained things to be brilliant and not overwhelming. Thoroughly recommend!!
• 5/5 from Morag McErlean, attended Apr 2026: The Leaf painting class was great! Learnt a lot in a warm and friendly environment. Alex Louise was great and very knowledgeable.
• 5/5 from Deborah Strelow, attended Apr 2026: I loved this class. As a watercolour novice I was a bit hesitant about where to start (but I really wanted it to be this beautiful leaves class!) I reached out to Alex and she assured me this would be as good a place as any (or even better as I was drawn to the subject matter) and she was right. The class covered watercolour basics within the shape of the leaves and while I’m sure there is more to be discovered in her other classes I left with enough confidence to take myself directly over to an art store to buy a couple of little supplies so I can continue to play. Thanks Alex! I will be keeping an eye out for opportunities to take some of your other classes (that landscapes class is the next on my list after seeing the samples you had around!)

• 5/5 from Kerri Weeks, attended Mar 2026: Great class, well set up with materials to use and to observe instructor. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Alex provided a diverse set of examples of earlier works and demonstrated how to approach painting the chosen subject. Just the right amount of theory and tips and tricks and techniques - and very good opportunity to practice.

• 5/5 from Julie Hodgson, attended Mar 2026: This was my second class with Alex. I will definitely be doing more as I learn so much from her teaching method. The studio space is lovely, very welcoming. Nice sized group means Alex is able to check on how the students are getting on. It's a nice relaxed pace and Alex explains everything that she is doing in great detail. So happy to have found her classes.

• 5/5 from Elaine Baker, attended Dec 2025: Hi Alex...you have done it again! Wonderful, informal class and at the end of it all, the knowledge that you come away having learnt something. I will never look at gum leaves the same way again. You are so inspirational. BTW...let me know when you start landscape classes for the beginner! Kind regards, Elaine PS...your ears must have been burning as Cass (my daughter) and I were saying on the way home, what a great session and how talented you are.

• 5/5 from Ben McKay, attended Oct 2025: I was lucky enough to be part of the guinea pig group to do this event for the first time. It was great fun. Alex is awesome as always and the whole class produced some amazing work. The level of detail that Alex explains about texture, shades etc is great. I honestly can't look at a leaf on the ground the same.
• 5/5 from Kim Fehervary, attended Oct 2025: Loved noticing and really looking at nature close up. Alex gently encouraged us to translate what we saw to watercolour.
• 5/5 from Kira Hoyes, attended Oct 2025: We did the Introduction to Watercolours Workshop with Alex. It was so good we came back for more and did the Watercolour Leaf Painting Class for Beginners. Learnt so much and had a great time. Alex is very clear and helpful in her instructions and we came away feeling like we could achieve all the techniques at home. Thank you Alex.
• 5/5 from Bronwyn Duffy, attended Oct 2025: WoW.... my 3rd watercolour class with Alexa. Enjoyed the morning learning how to paint gum leaves, in a cool & relaxing studio. Alexa gives so much of her knowledge in class, going at a pace to suit each student. Looking forward to enjoying & learning more techniques in class with Alexa
• 5/5 from Rebecca Smith, attended Oct 2025: Absolutely loved this class with Alex! She gave us so many tips and helped us to create beautiful lifelike leaves. This style of painting is calming, relaxing, addictive and so much fun. I highly recommend doing this class as well as any of Alex’s classes.
