Welcome to the world of watercolour pencils, a forgiving, rewarding, tidy and enjoyable medium that is not as recognised as traditional watercolours. Your teacher, Julia Softley is here to spread the love for this beautiful medium and its ease as a practise.
This class is for all ages and levels of experience. Beginners to experienced creatives are welcome.
Julia will guide you through everything you need to know to get started in this meditative art practice. You will receive ongoing in-class feedback and one-on-one assistance throughout the class so that you'll be able to draw tonally with your own style and confidence.
As an educator, she believes each person develops their own style and her joy is bringing out these qualities in each student.
You will be provided with an individual reference to gather visual interest and avoid comparing yourself to others.
Some key components of this three hour class:
  • An appreciation for quality materials and supplies
  • An understanding of paper weights and textures
  • Selecting and using resources
  • Tricks of the trade in starting and using guides
  • Three key techniques Julia uses daily in her own practice: glazing, layering, and blending to develop tones
  • The enjoyment of switching off and using the right side of your brain
By the end of the class, you can take your artwork home, as well as new watercolour skills!

Hi,
I'm Julia, I am a passionate artist with a comprehensive background in the business of Apparel.
My career in creative direction of 2 decades, lead from my original Fine Art studies to the world of fashion. This pathway was intense and by 2023 took on my physical and mental heath.
I have since taken a step to the side with a focus on my own love for aesthetic, colour and textures into a mediative art practice.
Watercolour pencil is a unique, fun and forgiving medium and not as recognised in the area of traditional Watercolour.
I love to share my passion with others through my self taught techniques and practice.
I use WC pencil as a practice to de-stress, disconnect from day to day and enjoy the moment of creating beautiful art.
During my classes I not only share my joy for this medium but also check in with each student & can provide therapeutic tools which can assist as a mediative practice.
As my practice is becoming more recognised in Perth's art community, I Invite you to switch off from the world and join me for a session whether you are a beginner or experienced artist.
