Our Testimonials

I have been attending Art Classes Brisbane for a number of years.

My initial aim was to try different mediums until I found the type of painting that suited me.

Deb taught me to experiment with acrylics, liquid acrylics, watercolour, mixed media and to try different techniques to achieve alternate effects.

We learnt perspective drawing, shadowing, how to create depth of field, how to draw and paint portraits and a myriad of other subjects.

Her lessons are fun and informative and the studio is set in eclectic and beautiful gardens. She is a Gem!

I highly recommend Deb’s classes. She is extremely talented and can teach in any medium you wish to learn.

So far, I have completed projects with acrylic paints, ink, liquid pour paint, colour pencil and mosaic.

Her lessons have a relaxed atmosphere, her studio is fantastic and it is lovely to catch up with the other students each week.

I consider myself a beginner, yet with Deb’s guidance I have completed pieces that I am proud to hang on the wall!

I have been going to Debra's classes for nearly two years now and in that time I have learnt a great deal about painting and drawing techniques.

She provides ideas for subject matter if needed, is able to see areas that need improvement. Deb is great with colours and above all, is a patient and skilful teacher.

The classes are fun with no pressure to perform to a certain standard.

The morning teas provide time to share with fellow students. I highly recommend Deb as an art teacher.

Over the past two years Debra has challenged me to explore a number of new art mediums and techniques.

Her art classes are stimulating, challenging and good fun!!

I believe that she has made me a better and more rounded artist.

Deb is the ideal teacher for many aspiring artists whether experienced, or, in my case, a first time trier.

Her classes are fun and relaxing. It is great to see the other pupils develop as artists while at the same time receiving encouragement from them towards my own artwork.

Deb is a very creative teacher and has constantly encouraged me to use new techniques and mediums.

It has been great to see many pupils arrive thinking they are not very good and to then see them produce something worth showing.

One of the highlights of my week is art class, a great way to meet like - minded people, laugh a lot and work on improving my techniques and use of various mediums.

Deb has a wealth of knowledge that she willingly imparts to her students, she is an inspiration to all. Highly recommended.

Art Classes Brisbane was the perfect place to bring 5 family members together to celebrate my m-i-l's birthday.

My m-i-l is absolutely thrilled with her painting (expertly guided by Debra)!  Honestly, Debra was the perfect instructor catering to our every need. Debra provided gluten free food which I thought was very kind and considerate of her.  Debra was extremely patient and time went so quickly because we all had such a great time. We couldn't be happier with our 'master pieces'!
