Watercolour with Brian Millard

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.

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.
