Course testimonials:

  • I learnt so much about watercolour (and acrylics as watercolour) and gained skills that will be the best start for me to begin using this medium. The venue is every artist's dream for a studio and the team who manage it are wonderful- very helpful and professional. I met some beautiful positive people who were learning with me. Herman Pekel is naturally a gifted artist who is willing to share his knowledge and skills. He is also extremely entertaining, so the three days was full of fun.
  • Herman is a wonderful teacher as well as a superb artist, and the workshop was heaps of fun as well as a great learning experience. Mara from Brisbane
