Thank you for the very informative and thoroughly enjoyable watercolour class today. I've already learned so much and had a few misconceptions cleared up, as well. I'm excited about the new "dark" colour combinations that you introduced and am eager to try them out! Thanks, again. 🙂

I was lucky enough to attend Hettie Rowley’s mixed media classes for about a year and found them to be inspirational and exciting. She encouraged me to stretch my imagination by trying new things and was very helpful in developing my skills both in watercolour and in acrylics. She is not a teacher who sits and paints in her lessons – she is hands on and constantly coming round the class to advise, help and encourage so that your work takes on new dimensions.
Perth’s loss is Brisbane’s gain!

I attended art classes with Hettie for about a year when she lived in Perth and can thoroughly recommend her as an art teacher.
During that time we painted in watercolours and acrylics and I enjoyed the fact that Hettie gave me the freedom of content, style and colours, which I found a great help. The classes were relaxed and professional and Hettie always made time for individual tuition. I feel that my painting improved greatly during her classes and I was very disappointed when she left Perth.
If Hettie should ever return, I would have no hesitation in attending her classes again.

Hettie is a wonderful teacher. She taught me so much about drawing and watercolour painting with her wealth of knowledge, patience and commitment. Her classes were informal and relaxed but also very professional.
I would most definitely do classes with Hettie again and recommend her to anyone.

It is nice to hear from you Hettie and how lucky people will be to have you as their new art teacher. You taught us how to hold the pencil in a certain way which helped to create a more sensitive composition.
The classes were always friendly and informal and professional. The way to simplify a composition was a very important area which you (Hettie) explained well. Various mediums were also used such as charcoal, inks and coloured pencils.
The subject each week was very interesting and I would recommend Hettie as an art teacher to both beginners and advanced students.
