Recent reviews of Watercolour Painting Class

  • 5/5 from Amirah Mustafa, attended Feb 2026: I had a wonderful watercolour lesson with Marilyn. From the moment I arrived, she created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It felt immediately comfortable- more like chatting and painting with a friend than being in a formal class, which really helped me relax and enjoy the experience. Marilyn is incredibly helpful and accommodating. She explained techniques clearly, was patient with my questions, and tailored the session to my pace and ability. I never felt rushed or overwhelmed, and her encouragement really boosted my confidence. The two hours honestly flew by. I was so absorbed in the lesson that I didn’t notice the time passing. I came away not only with new skills and tips but also feeling inspired and proud of what I created. It was a truly lovely experience, and I would happily recommend Marilyn to anyone looking to learn or improve their watercolour painting in a supportive and friendly environment.
  • 5/5 from Kavita Modi, attended Sep 2025: My Mum and I really enjoyed the watercolour painting class. Marilyn, our teacher, is a very impressive artist and it was interesting to talk to her. There was only my Mum and I in the class, so we got lots of personal attention from Marilyn, who showed us some techniques first, which we then practised before making our own painting. This was a great introduction to watercolour painting and a lovely Sunday afternoon. Would highly recommend.
  • 4/5 from Meena Modi, attended Sep 2025: I had a very good and informative teacher. Marilyn started by sharing the various strokes and styles you could use. We then did our own watercolour painting. Marilyn is an amazing lady who is also inspiring because of all that she does. My daughter and I enjoyed the lesson very much.
  • 5/5 from Sumati, attended Oct 2024: I had a wonderful time in my 1-1 watercolouring class with Marilyn Fontaine. As a beginner, Marilyn took me through the basics of watercolouring and then allowed me to take inspiration from one of her paintings I loved to re-create. She introduced me to different watercolouring paint types and gave me great advice to continue painting at home. I came out of the class with a great painting of mine and a burst of creativity. Marilyn's passion was truly awesome to see. Her adaptability means that you can truly take back a lot from the class.
  • 5/5 from Rachel Smith, attended May 2024: I had an amazing time on the watercolour class. Marilyn was such a lovely tutor and I learned a lot of useful techniques for painting with watercolour. Marilyn was so knowledgeable and encouraging. She gave me the confidence to try different watercolour techniques. She gave me useful tips that I can take into my future watercolour painting. I would recommend Marilyn’s classes to anyone wanting to either learn to paint or develop their painting skills. I will definitely be booking again very soon.
