What Makes This Class So Special
Every week you’ll complete a finished painting — no long projects, no pressure, no experience needed.
Ten weeks of watercolour, and every single one of them teaches you something new. Watercolour has a reputation for being difficult, and we'd like to argue with that. It rewards a light touch and a bit of nerve, both of which we'll help you find.
“I can’t believe how much I improved in 10 weeks! The classes are fun, friendly, and I leave each one with a painting I’m proud of.” — Jane S.
What You’ll Experience Each Week
You'll paint loose creatures, moonlit seas, snowy hills, a swan, a puffin and a pair of very determined geese. Along the way you'll pick up salt textures, negative painting, blending, and the fine art of knowing when to stop.
We’ve designed the ultimate creative formula:
The Result? No unfinished work gathering dust! You will walk out of the studio with a completed watercolour masterpiece every single week. It’s the most satisfying way to learn!
Choose your preference from the range of fun classes below.
2 Easy Ways to Book
We offer two ways to join our 10-Week Watercolour Magic Course, so you can choose between the best value or the most flexibility.
Book the full Term-4 before it starts
Book all ten weeks together, and you pay only for nine. That's $270 for the term instead of $300 week by week, and it guarantees your spot every single week. It's like getting one class absolutely FREE! Full term bookings close on Sunday 11 October, the day before Term 4 starts.
This is the perfect option for those ready to dive deep, build their skills consistently, and be part of our creative community all term long.
Book Individual Classes & Enjoy Flexibility
Not sure if you can make it every week? No problem at all.
You can book any class individually to fit your schedule.
Simply scroll down, choose a class, then click on the date you prefer.
This "drop-in" option is perfect for trying out a class, or joining us when it's convenient for you.
Please note: You must provide 48 hours’ notice if you cannot attend a class to receive a credit for another class. Missed term classes will only be credited with Beverley’s personal agreement. All credits need to be used up in the term they were booked for. Thank you.
Watercolour Magic
Term-4: 13 October - 16 December 2026
Week 5
Loose Water Flow
Let the Water Take the Lead
This week is about giving up a little control and letting the water carry the paint where it wants to go. You'll paint blossom spilling out of a round vase, working wet into wet so the colours melt together. Loose, fresh and full of movement.
The trick is knowing when to stop, and we'll help you spot that moment. Overwork it and you lose the very thing that makes it lovely.
Week 6
Dark and Light Contrast
Make the Darks Really Sing
Nothing lifts a painting like a proper dark sitting next to a clean white. You'll paint geese in flight, using a deep inky wash for the background and leaving the birds as untouched paper. It's called negative painting and it's enormously satisfying.
We'll help you mix darks that stay rich rather than turning muddy. The result is dramatic and looks far harder than it actually is.
Week 7
Blending
Soft Edges That Melt Together
Blending is what gives watercolour its glow, and it comes down to timing and how much water is on your brush. You'll paint a cat in soft, melting patches of ginger, grey and white. Every edge either melts away or stays crisp, and you get to choose which.
We'll practise on scraps first so you get the feel for it. By the end you'll be blending without thinking about it.
Week 8
Less Is More
Say More by Painting Less
The hardest thing in watercolour is knowing when to put the brush down. This week you'll paint a swan using barely any paint at all, letting the white of the paper do most of the work. A few careful strokes and the whole bird appears.
It takes a bit of nerve to leave that much space empty. Once you've done it, you'll never crowd a painting again.
Week 9
Sharp Edges
Crisp, Confident and Clean
After weeks of soft washes, this one goes sharp. You'll paint a puffin with clean, deliberate edges, working on dry paper so every mark holds its shape. Crisp edges bring your subject forward and make it pop.
We'll look at where a hard edge helps and where it hurts. Used well, it's the difference between a painting that reads clearly and one that drifts.
Week 10
Let's Splash Out and Celebrate
Finish the Term with a Bang
We're ending the term in the messiest and most enjoyable way possible. You'll paint geese charging through water, then flick, splatter and spray to bring the whole thing to life. Aprons on, this one goes everywhere.
It's a celebration of everything you've picked up over the ten weeks. Loose, bold and gloriously uncontained.
