Watercolour Painting Class: Impressionist Style

How to paint expressive watercolours in four steps



2.5 hours Location Neutral Bay Class size 1 to 3 guests   $150 - $200 ($200 per guest when you book for 1+ guests, $150/guest for 3 guests) (Afterpay available)

Learn how to paint quick and expressive watercolours with fewer brush strokes.
This can be done by making a decision by choosing one focal point of interest and then applying one decisive first brush stroke rich in pigment and leaving it alone. Working with large size brushes (sizes 12 or 16) adding shape against shape stroke by stroke and almost never going over the same area twice and in the process, leaving large areas of the paper untouched.
Our aim will be to create an atmosphere by using a limited palette, oversimplifying shapes and avoiding adding too many details regardless of the complexity of the subject matter. We will learn how to make very basic pencil sketches and later throughout the course, no pencil at all, starting painting directly with brush. This approach is fun, rather quick and gives painting that fresh and spontaneous look.

I found the tuition fabulous, carefully timed to match my ability, and oh so inspiring. I have so much to follow up on and practise. I thoroughly recommend this.
  • 5/5 from Sara Newton, attended Nov 2025: My class was a 1 on 1. It was marvellous. Tony did an excellent job. On teaching me about perspective and the principles of loose painting. It will definitely help me to free up my style.
  • 5/5 from Tom Cushway, attended Oct 2025: Tony is a brilliant artist and a fantastic teacher, I thoroughly enjoyed my session and learnt a lot!

  • 5/5 from Ling Qu, attended Nov 2024: The teacher Tony was very patient and profassional, he taught me the basic mathods of watercolor painting, and let me following his steps while painting the same picture. That was fantastic class!
  • 5/5 from Catriona Alison Deans, attended May 2024: Tony is absolutely lovely and a font of knowledge, delivered with positivity and kindness. He was great at adapting our class to our ability - complete beginners - and gave a great mix of inspiration, theory and practice. He helped us create our own painting and also understand how to take the process and steps to other paintings we might want to do. That’s pretty amazing for three hours. Thank you
  • 4/5 from James Anvia, attended Apr 2024: was good good knowledge good learnt few thingsgood class more modelling of different styles
  • 5/5 from Paul Peterson, attended Mar 2024: "The best birthday gift I've ever had!" said my girlfriend after Tony's painting class. We were both absolute beginners and Tony patiently taught us the basics in a fun, educational, and hands-on way. He is both an expert and a natural motivator and his sunny artist studio was just a relaxing space to be inspired. I have no doubt he has lots to offer experienced painters, but if you're a beginner look no further!
  • 5/5 from Christopher Krainer, attended Jan 2024: Great class, extraordinary teacher, I can absolutely recommend this to anyone, particularly if you're serious about learning how to pain in impressionist style.
