Classes in Watercolour
I run weekly classes in Watercolour in the Lane Cove area on Monday nights and Tuesday mornings. The Tuesday class is via Zoom! I also run special interest groups as requested. I've done a series of workshops for a landscape gardening company and am running another specifically on images from the Greek Islands for another group.
I also run occasional workshops for various art shops, societies or groups. See above list.
Can't come to a class? Consider on-line tutoring!
