Just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful class today. It was a real eye-opener! The emails have been flying thick and fast tonight, between the members, all agreeing what a great day we had today, in every respect. Can't wait for your next lesson - you are a very talented tutor as well as a wonderful artist.

Hi Jan, I enjoyed the workshop and I learnt a lot out it, the other students were nice to work with and it was pleasant to see a wide range of topics. I have a drawing project that I have been working on for a number of years now and this will help me keep inspired.

I really enjoyed those four days at the workshop, everybody was so nice, and it really broadened the horizon for me. Your teaching is impeccable; I'm very honoured to have learned from you! Thanks again!

I’d like to thank you both for making today such a happy one for Fred.  He was very tired when he got home but he had a lovely day and couldn’t stop saying how kind you were.

NEXT TWO WORKSHOPS/EVENTS

 Noosaville & Imbil

12-13/9

9.00am

Watercolour & Ink Experimental Techniques, Noosaville

This immersive weekend workshop explores a range of expressive approaches using watercolour and ink, suitable for artists looking to loosen up, experiment, and expand their visual language. Through guided demonstrations and hands-on practice, we’ll work across different styles and subjects, combining structured techniques with playful exploration.

19/9

9.00am

Masterclass-Illustrated Alphabet Letters, Imbil

Explore your creativity in this enjoyable watercolour workshop as you design and paint a beautifully decorated alphabet letter. Create a personalised artwork for yourself or as a meaningful gift, using your own colour palette and imaginative themes.

Jan will guide you through composition, design development, and painting techniques, while providing a variety of reference materials and inspiration to help you get started. The letter itself can be enhanced with metallic watercolour, gouache, ink, or pen work for added detail and visual interest.
Decorate your letter with subjects that inspire you, such as flowers, foliage, insects, animals, birds, sweets, whimsical characters, or other creative motifs. No two artworks will be the same, making each piece a unique reflection of its creator.
