This class is not for beginners. It is best suited for pupils who already possess an appreciation of the basics and wish to progress to the next level of proficiency.

Each week the challenges become greater.  They will be introduced to the work of artists who have broken new ground and challenged to emulate them. In the process Brian will demonstrate each phase of the painting whilst students follow him stroke for stroke until the painting is completed. He will demonstrate the correct value, the correct hue and the correct shape. He will do this also at the correct speed.

The emphasis is on the Alla Prima method which is the way to preserve an unadulterated picture surface.

Big brushes (preferably one stroke flats) and two pallets are required in order to preserve the quality of the picture surface.

Watercolour with Brian Millard

Kasia Malinowska

I’ve been attending Brian’s watercolour class for about three years now. Before joining, I had only dabbled in watercolor through YouTube tutorials, but Brian’s approach is on a completely different level — professional, structured, and rooted in traditional technique.

His teaching style is very old-school in the best possible way, helping students develop solid habits from the ground up. He’s famous for his “one stroke only” rule, which trains you to be precise and prevents your paintings from becoming overworked or muddy. 

We explore a wide range of subjects, so every week feels fresh and inspiring. The group itself is also very welcoming and friendly, making the class both enjoyable and motivating.

I always look forward to my Wednesday afternoons — they’ve become one of the most fulfilling parts of my week. I highly recommend Brian’s class to anyone interested in developing their art skills and deepening their appreciation for watercolour painting.

Wendy  Oey

I have attended Brian's class for 18mths now and have painted subjects I have never painted before and actually thought that I couldn't paint. I have learnt about other artists and their styles, both NZ and overseas. I have been challenged with new techniques, from underpainting to the final darks, painting people and buildings as subjects, as I only ever did landscapes, and using whimseys to stir the imagination. The classes have been fun, and the members all encourage each other. I have learnt a lot from Brian's demonstrations, and he encourages me to keep learning and extending myself. 

Sue  Morrison

I have been attending Brian Millard’s Wednesday afternoon watercolour class for four years. Thanks to Brian’s tuition, my skills and experience have grown to a level that gives me confidence to attempt any subject. Group members also provide a fun, supportive environment.

George  Deeb 

I am George Deeb, a retiree of 73 years of age and living in Auckland on the North Shore.

I joined the Mairangi Bay Art Centre approximately five years ago when I completed a drawing course and a course in acrylic art before I became interested in watercolour art.

Approximately three years ago I started a watercolour class with Brian Millard – I have completed three such courses with Brian, all of which I have thoroughly enjoyed. 

I have found Brian to be, not only a very competent watercolourist himself,  but a competent and wonderful teacher with a vast knowledge of the subjects he sets for painting in class, as well as the artists he has chosen for the class to paint.

I have enjoyed my time with Brian and have learnt much in  the art of watercolour painting with him.

Martine  Goodacre

I’ve been attending Brian’ Millard’s watercolour classes for 5 years, and I’ve learnt more here than in any other art class I’ve taken. Brian is incredibly passionate about art and so generous with his knowledge. Every session offers something new, from understanding composition to mastering techniques. It’s been an inspiring and rewarding journey.

Judith  Eyton 

I first began classes with Brian Millard in 2016 and have been with the class consistently from that time on.  I started with great trepidation but Brian's very personable and knowledgeable approach set me off in the right direction.  His 'one stroke' mantra is our guiding principle and we all strive to stay on track.  I have attended outside workshops from time to time and one of the important things I've learned is that we are extremely fortunate to have a tutor of Brian's calibre and expertise guiding us in our watercolour endeavours.   Our classes are based on the study of works by other artists and Brian's insights from his long association with the medium.  Brian selects a theme for each term and this concentrates our thinking and approach with regard to format, composition and value....all the difficult areas when it comes to producing your own work as of course, this is the goal, to encourage us to undertake our own artistic expression.  I look forward to many more classes with Brian at the helm.

**WED** Brian’s class is where you will develop proficiency in watercolour, this is the class that delivers results. Many pupils gain professional status
