Such a lovely experience! Even though I’m not a natural artist, Maria creates such a warm, fun, and encouraging environment that makes you feel completely at ease. I really enjoyed it! (Kayla)

Maria, thank you for such an interesting class in ‘creating’ an autumn wreath. I really enjoyed the morning. (Magda)

Dear Maria, thank you once again for an amazing class this morning! The theme and detail of the project were awesome! (Rita)

Hi Maria, thank you for the class! I loved all the “cheats” and things … and the end result was gorgeous, particularly the 3D effect …just something different! Thank you so much! Can’t wait for the next class xxx (Marijke)

Something different, with interesting “paint over the lines” and “let it flow” to form wonderful autumn leaves. (Deliana)

It was delightful, I have been twice now and I learn something new every time. Great experience. (Lily)

Dear Maria, once again your class has been a highlight of my 'social calendar'. I always have so much fun and appreciate you sharing all your knowledge. (Lianie)

"Summer Heart" February Watercolour Workshop (3 hours)
21 February 2026

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, we painted a simplified version of my Summer Heart using just the three primary colours to produce a wonderfully colourful array of beautiful flowers! We used wet-into-wet technique throughout to make the most of the translucent Daniel Smith water-colour paints. Well done, ladies, you did yourselves proud!

"As always, Maria’s class was relaxing, inspiring and rich with vibrant colours. I love flowers. Maria has the knack of making someone who’s ‘not arty’ feel like they can conquer the art world. She’s the best art teacher." (Tammy)

"Hi there Maria, thank you so much for another fun, but challenging class! Amazing how you can make so many variations out of 3 colours! I loved the theme as well – very appropriate for the month of love xxx" (Marijke)

"Had a wonderful learning experience. My first ever art class. Will definitely do it again." (Jackie)

"Monochrome Magic" January Watercolour Workshop (3 hours)
17 January 2026

We started off the year gently with soft, smooth watercolour washes as we built up a lovely landscape using only one colour to create depth. Monochrome Magic! While waiting for the paint to dry between layers, we practised using only one or two brushstrokes to paint  leaves and birds.

“Thanks for the class today, Maria. I enjoyed doing it, and the result was amazing. Also learning to paint the little crane with only one brush stroke was fascinating! You just make it look much easier than what it really is.” (Marijke)

“Even when I think I cannot achieve the expected result, Maria’s experience, kindness and patience help me create my own little masterpiece. It is always such a joy and highlight to my day to attend a workshop with her. Thank you, Maria!!” (Marlene)

“Today’s workshop has been just as fun and relaxing as always. It was truly a joy learning new painting methods with watercolour, it was insightful and I look forward to creating more art using the techniques that I learned today.” (Chloé)

“Thank you so much for another lovely morning, Maria, and for helping my granddaughters! They’ve really enjoyed it!” (Magda)
