Description
Hi, my name is Diana Casey.
I paint and teach in Watercolour, and have 35 years of experience. My Workshops and Classes are designed for beginners to intermediate painters, for people who find the medium interesting, intriguing, and challenging, but don’t want stress or pressure to produce masterpieces. You will learn how to observe nature and its relevance to your painting. The tips and tricks I share make it easier with practice. Much of what I teach relates to all painting mediums.
I have three sayings I believe are relevant:
1. It is only a piece of paper
2. There is no such thing as perfect
3. There is no right or wrong in painting
Come along to learn, meet like-minded people, and ENJOY the experience. You will create a new painting each week.
