Friends of the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria – watercolour pencil sketching class
I have held classes with Friends of the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria in Melbourne in Summer and Autumn. Keep an eye on their website for Spring and Summer calendars.
The Johnston Collection – watercolour pencil sketching class
The Johnston Collection is an exhibition house of exquisite British and European fine and decorative arts in a historic East Melbourne townhouse. They have guided tours, amazing lectures, and events. I have been invited to un some Watercolour Pencil sketching classes. I held one in January and May and there will be another on 8 Dec 2024,
This is a unique opportunity to learn to sketch ‘on location’ at The Johnston Collection. Become familiar with watercolour pencils and how to use them. Then test your new skills as you explore the ground floor rooms of The Johnston Collection’s exhibition house, Fairhall. Have a look at their Special Events to book and see what else is on offer. Anyone can book for my event, you don’t have to be a Member.

Do you need previous art experience to attend this session?
No experience is necessary. Just enthusiasm and curiosity.
Hi Alissa – a couple of friends and I are visiting Melbourne and interested in your class – just wondering what your cancellation policy is or if you have contingencies for wet weather ? Thanks
H Geneen Thanks for your interest in my “Travel Sketching with Watercolour Pencil” classes!
You can cancel with full refund. The classes go ahead, whatever the weather! Some of the time is spent in the Room we have in the Libray. If it is too wet/cold/windy to go out we sketch in the Library and its spaces, including a deck. When you travel, sometimes your plans get changed by the weather, and you can sketch where you are ! I hope that you and your friends can join me.!
Hi Alissa, I wanted to join your class on Dec 10th, but I can’t book online, can I still book myself in? Thank you 🙂
Hi Irene, thanks for your email. Unfortunately I had to cancel my class. There is one more class “Christmas High Tea Sketching with Watercolour Pencils” It is hosted at Dromkeen homestead, just outside of Melbourne. class.
I will be running more classes in 2024 ! I hope to see you at one
