Fantastic watercolour workshop! Heather is a delight and so generous with her knowledge and inspiration for all things art. I really enjoyed her workshop and learnt many things that I’ll take with me for future art projects. Would recommend Heather’s workshops to anyone eager to learn.
This class reignited my creativity and has got me hooked on watercolors. I learnt enough brush technique and creative ideas to get me started on further study. I’m very excited to see what comes of it.
The teacher was warm and kind,
obviously an experienced artist and teacher, and taught in such a way that it didn’t matter if one was a beginner or experienced- there was something for everyone.

Watercolour Painting Workshop
Enjoyed a wonderful watercolour class today. Still buzzing from all the new techniques I learnt from our teacher Heather and going well outside my comfort zone. The class was well structured with Heather gauging our interest and experience to tailor the class to us and keeping time so we could complete our painting without rush. The studio is in such a good location for a relaxing ferry ride from CQ and walk from Balmain ferry stop. Enjoyed coffee and bites at the cute cafes nearby. Highly recommend! Looking forward to Heather running another class again soon,
