“A complete beginner, I could not have asked for a better teacher. Flora’s lessons were carefully prepared but had a sense of spaciousness, thanks to her positivity and kindly encouragement. Her skills and knowledge were shared freely throughout the lesson and because she listens to the class participants’ concerns and encourages interaction, the learning feels satisfyingly enjoyable. Do try Flora’s classes – you’ll be glad you did!”

Charlotte
“I have enjoyed every class with Flora she’s an amazing artist.”
Sara
“I attended the Watercolour and Mixed Media course expecting to learn other expressions of combined watercolour and have time to do some art. The course let me free creativity with no boundaries and out of classic watercolour technic. Classes are a friendly space, open to comments and sharing. Flora always will be able to listen, comment and guide you in your processes. She is a great teacher and artist.”
Monse
“Great class – Flora is very encouraging and demonstrates the points she’s making, which is very helpful!”
Ros
“I’ve done Flora’s intro and follow-on courses on watercolour painting. It was many years since I did A level art and never mastered colour, (sunlight through trees looking like a dark night in the forest in my rendering!). I love Flora’s teaching style: each week she gives us a bit of theory with some written info, does a demo and encourages us to do some exercises then supports us to paint a picture. I’m now part of the Friday afternoon ‘club’ where we are exploring mixed media (or whatever we want to really) with Flora’s support and encouragement. I can see we have all made progress, developed confidence and produced some great pieces of work between us. Thanks Flora, you have been so welcoming and helpful.”
Gail
“I really enjoyed the course, Flora is a fantastic teacher, very encouraging! I had no idea that I had it in me to produce really ok paintings. Very happy with my own personal progress and will continue to paint as much as I can.”
Sue
“I loved the absolute beginner classes of watercolor run by Flora. Really nice and supportive classes to learn and improve your painting techniques and develop your creativity. I’d highly recommend. 🙂 Thank you Flora for making the course so friendly. I had a fab time. I can’t wait to get back next week for the second part and learn much more watercolor skills”
