Peaceful afternoon being guided to paint in a beautiful landscape - My daughter and I attended Anna's regular 2.30pm Sunday afternoon watercolours class trip to Simpsons Gap with Anna. We loved it! Anna picked us up in Alice and drove us the 15 minutes to Simpsons Gap. We each had an option to stand, sit in a camper chair or sit on a rug on a sandy part of the creek bank in front of the gap in the gorge. Anna took us through some warm-up technique stages before we spent 45 minutes in the peaceful surroundings painting a section of the gorge we wanted. The light improved as the afternoon progressed lighting up the reds of the rock and the greens of the vegetation so it was a lovely scene to paint. The group ranged from complete beginners to people who painted as a regular hobby and Anna made us all feel welcome. If you fancy a peaceful afternoon in a beautiful place getting in tune with the landscape I can really recommend this tour!

A Must Do Alice Springs Outing - This class was absolutely incredible. I had never attempted watercolor before, and Anna was the perfect teacher/guide. Her knowledge of the local flora/fauna/culture combined with her passion for art made for a wonderful and highly educational experience. Highly recommended!
