Hi! My name is Natalie and I'm an artist based on the Surf Coast in Victoria, Australia. I've painted with watercolor for over 10 years and have been teaching it through workshops and online courses for the last few years now. I really enjoy teaching and sharing the magic of watercolor. 'Welcome to Watercolor' is my first online course, a beginner's guide to contemporary botanical watercolor. My second course is on my all time favorite subject COLOR called 'The Magic of Color Mixing' and I've just released my third, 'Lessons in Layering with Watercolor' - you guessed it! It's all about layering and exploring what this can bring to your work.

My practice explores the natural world with this joyous and free-flowing medium, in particular native Australian flora and birdlife. I focus on expressive, loose brush strokes and a playful use of color to build my works. Largely working from observation, careful compositions and negative space play a key part of bringing liveliness to the work.

I've worn many creative hats in my life but have always come back to painting. I'm a trained graphic designer and was once an art director as well as illustrator. I'm an avid crafter and generally have to keep my hands busy creating all day long.
