Watercolour Classes with Miranda Gerber | Learn Painting in Pretoria

Why Join Us?

In just three hours, you'll walk out with real, finished paintings — and a quiet mind. It's less about the art, and more about the hour you gave yourself.

Zero Experience Required

Think you can't draw a straight line? Perfect. Watercolour isn't about precision — it's about letting the water do half the work. I'll guide you through every step, from your very first wash.

Everything is Provided

Don't worry about buying expensive supplies. We provide professional-grade paints, brushes, and paper. You just show up, relax, and create.

Progress, Not Perfection

Forget "art school" pressure. This is a safe space to experiment, make happy accidents, and find your own style — not to perfectly replicate mine.

A Creative Pause, Close to Home

Step away from your screen and into our peaceful studio. Beyond the painting, it's a morning of good conversation, quiet focus, and fresh inspiration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about joining our watercolour sessions.

Not at all! Our bi-weekly classes and monthly workshops and loose-style workshops are specifically structured to accommodate absolute beginners alongside advancing artists. We break down complex concepts like value, color mixing, and water control into simple, bite-sized steps.

For introductory workshops, we often provide all the necessary student-grade materials to help you get started. For ongoing weekly classes, a basic materials list (including professional-grade papers and selected watercolor pigment tubes) will be sent to you upon registration.

Bi-weekly classes are hosted in a peaceful studio space in Pretoria East, while select workshops take place at cosy coffee shops around the area for a more relaxed, social setting. Once your booking is finalized, complete directions, address details, and any additional instructions will be emailed to you.
