Explore Botanical Watercolours at beautiful Te Uru Contemporary Gallery
Friday mornings 10am – 12pm
All four terms bookable in advance
My Friday morning class at Te Uru Contemporary Gallery in Titirangi runs over six or seven weeks. This is a fun and popular class which sells out quickly out quickly.. It’s very suitable for complete beginners but includes extension for those who wish to take their skills further.
We meet in Te Uru’s beautiful airy education space and have a relaxed two hours painting together. Students say it is the most relaxing two hours of their week. I try to balance sharing skills with exploring students’ own interests.
Techniques you will learn include observation, drawing, colour mixing and watercolour painting.
Course fee: $300
Materials are additional to the course fee and a materials list will be provided upon enquiry.
Botanical Art at Charming Highwic House
Wednesday mornings 10am -12pm
Feb 18 - Mar 25 2026
Unleash your inner artist and learn to paint vibrant botanicals in a historic setting
Join me for a six-week botanical art class on Wednesday mornings,. Slow down, observe, and reconnect with the natural beauty that has surrounded Aucklanders for generations.
The heritage gardens at Highwic offer a vivid tapestry of seasonal colour as inspiration – from the formality of its sweeping lawns to the intimacy of its flower beds and orchard.
The class will take place in the atmospheric Billard House, and in the gardens. Each session blends artistic technique with mindful observations, linking the botanical past and present through creative practice.
The six-week course covers:
• Nature journaling and observational techniques
• Successful drawing strategy
• Smarter colour mixing
• Mastering watercolour techniques
• Creativity and finding your artistic confidence
