Watercolour Classes

Relax in beautiful surroundings and enjoy the experience of making art.

Diane is a qualified art teacher (BEd) and practising artist who teaches and demonstrates art using the principles, skills, and techniques of watercolour painting in her art studio in the beautiful Scenic Rim. These learnt skills are applicable to any subject you want to paint, and you will be able to use them to develop your own unique style of painting, as you progress through the class.

You will find painting with watercolour the most expensive and difficult of all painting media, BUT it is the cleanest, very portable and most rewarding method of painting. With patience, perseverance and plenty of practice, you too can produce wonderful watercolours!
