Enjoy the gentle medium of watercolour which helps you to slow down and enjoy the process of painting. Each week during term you’ll earn from professional artist Anne Smerdon as she shows you how to paint any subject in any style with ease. You’ll combine watercolour with charcoals, pastels and inks to help you loosen up, find your style and most importantly, have FUN with your art.
Here’s some of the things we painted in watercolour class last term:

Absolutely! If you’re a beginner, there’s no better way to learn watercolour than in class with a professional. Anne will show you the ropes so you feel comfortable and relaxed using watercolour in no time.
-
If you booked the full course, you've received a discount and I've reserved that seat in class for you for the whole term. This means I can't refund or credit you if you miss a class BUT you are welcome to send someone along in your place. It’s a great way to treat someone with a surprise gift.
Class notes will also be emailed to you with photos of each of the steps and detailed instructions, so you can create your artwork at home.
If you’ve booked an individual class, 48 hours cancellation notice is required for a refund minus a $5 processing fee (sorry our ecommerce platform charges us every time we process a booking)
-
Your health and safety is of utmost importance. We follow all NSW government advice and guidelines.
By attending our classes you agree to abide by the current local government mandates and regulations, including mask-wearing, hand sanitising, vaccination status, checking-in using the covid-safe QR code and physical distancing. You agree to not attend classes if you show any signs of sickness.
-
If classes cannot run in-person due to government restrictions or lockdowns, classes will be run online via zoom. The zoom class may be scheduled for a different day and time than your usual class time that week, to accommodate our teachers working from home. Recordings will be kept for 7 days for those that cannot make the new class time.
-
If you’ve booked the full term (usually 5-10 classes) you’re welcome to a refund minus a $40 processing fee, if you contact us at least 7 days prior to your class/term starting (we get charged an ecommerce and admin processing fee every time we process an order so we can’t refund in full - sorry). This gives us time to give your spot to someone else.
If you’ve booked an individual class, 48 hours cancellation notice is required for a refund, minus a $5 booking fee.
Unfortunately we cannot credit classes across terms.

In this class you’ll learn:
How to accurately so that your drawing looks like its subject
How to create large drawings from small references
How to get the right tones (dark vs light)
How to smoothly blend and create texture
The confidence to move to painting or more advanced drawing once you have finished your first term.
