Love from past students……

Donna Hardy

I love the neutral colors and how Laura incorporates nature elements into her lessons. She has a personal, calming, and welcoming presence that encourages you to find your own artistic style. Laura shares many techniques and personal stories on overcoming any blocks you may encounter. I truly appreciate the way she brings nature into her teachings.

Jeanne Maxon

Not only has every class been fun and challenging, but I have also seen marked change and growth in myself as an artist after each one. Learning from Laura is like sitting and making art with a talented friend. Laura is hands down the best online teacher I’ve found. Her style is friendly and relaxed, helping me surprise myself with the art I am able to produce.

Laura presents incredibly useful tips in a structured way, while still providing space and encouragement for students to pursue their own creative instincts. I used to think abstracts were beyond me, and thanks to Laura, I now only paint abstracts! I’ve watched all her classes literally countless times, and yet each time, I still find something new.

Curriculum


Quick Word About Supplies


This class focuses on watercolour painting. While I use Daniel Smith tube watercolours (my personal favourites), you’re welcome to use any brand or type, including student-grade options in pan or tube format.

The supply list includes the colours, brushes, paper, and optional extras I often use, such as white acrylic ink and paint pens. However, there’s no need to have everything I use to get started. For instance, a selection of student-grade paints and a few brushes will work beautifully.

Many students prefer to watch the class first before deciding on their supply choices. 



I've had the joy and privilege of teaching over 40,000 students across the globe through my online classes.


Meet Laura, your teacher


Hello, I'm Laura

I'm a mixed media artist from Adelaide, South Australia. Ten years ago, I picked up a paintbrush. I had two young children, and like many mothers, I felt a little lost among all the nappies.

As soon as I reconnected with my creativity, I felt a spark. I quickly fell in love with all things art. The yummy supplies, the supportive community, and the sense of purpose and satisfaction that came from doing something I truly loved.

I followed my passion and built a beautiful, messy life around it. Things rarely went to plan, but I amazed myself with the things that I could do. From selling my work at markets and cafes to running a retreat in Bali, right through to hosting a top-rated art podcast.

Tapping into my creativity gave me clarity and confidence, and it can do this for you too.
