How My Teaching Has Impacted My Students
Looking forward to impacting you!
“Sebastian is a great teacher who explains complicated concepts clearly and is very generous with his knowledge. If you're considering booking a place, just go for it -- you'll be really glad you did."
I'm taking your Freedom in Watercolor class. I'm going through it very slowly just cuz life is busy. But I wanted to say how much I love your classes and the setup. You go over things very well and l've already learned a bunch of new ideas.
"After I got that first wash down, I found that I could relax and enjoy the process. Your way of doing that first wash is so helpful. Usually I am stressed about ruining the painting till the very end!"

Simple but effective techniques to steepen your learning curve.
The methods that I am teaching here have been transformative for me. They have been used by the masters and have made painting in watercolour an absolute joy for me and it gives me such a buzz when I see other students benefit from them in the same way that I have. There’s nothing better than creating work that you are truly happy with. Of course I can not guarantee immediate change but these are the stepping stones that set the foundations when used with diligence (and fun) that will ultimately enable you to create work that you are truly happy with.
