About Classes & Workshops with Tanya
"Tanya made everything very comfortable and enjoyable. My favourite part was when she pointed to the brushed apple and showed us the indentation in the shape of a heart. I've never noticed things like that - but I am keeping my eye open now."
- Liz, Jenny and Mandy
"Thank you for a lovely morning and relaxing colouring."
- Maddison Peters
"It won't be long when everyone will know about your book Tanya. I know I am looking forward to seeing more from you. Thank you for showing me a new way to destress. I'll give it a go this weekend!"
- Angela
"Tanya, you have a unique ability to approach each individual in a way that is compatible to them - hug or not - touch or hold - praise or be silent.
This makes me feel valued and at ease - no specific expectations are put on me.
No matter what I create you are able to guide and connect without judgement.
I do many other crafts at home and at other sessions so I do very little painting at home. These classes unleashed creativity and helps me develop skills in quiet expressive surprises with my abilities.
Looking at ti=one and depth has helped me make shapes more 3D.
I love everything about colour - it helps me with mindfulness, and relaxation. It helps dispel and release frustrations and emotions."

"I didn't know anything about watercolours before I started with Tanya. I find her classes relaxing, supportive and very accepting of my ideas and feelings. Tanya has taught me to express myself through art and it has helped me a lot. Thank you x."

"Tanya takes the time to help you understand colours, mixing colours and the small details that make your work come alive! She's very easy to get along with.
I like that we can approach Tanya if we are having any difficulties. You would have a wonderful time and meet new friends - laugh and just enjoy yourself.
😊 Just watch for the camera!
Thank you Tanya, you are a treasure x."

Tanya said this to me and now I live by it!
"We don’t need to deal with stress, it will always be there
- we need to find it's counter measure!"
"I must say colours/colour contrast inspire me.
The in-person classes is a fun light spirited social group. the art we make ranges from good to very good. Learning something that I haven't learnt n school, not that art class in school is bad - its just different.
The classes are nicely structured in such a way so that you know what you have to do, what to work on and what colours to work with. We go over the colour wheel, what colours go well together plus many, many more.
It's not really art class, it is therapy for the mind."

"You spoke to the heart of every women here today because we all give much of ourselves every day and this will help us give back to ourselves. Your mindful practices are welcomed with the deepest affection for your outlook on our 'modern lifestyles' and how flowers heal. It will be a gift to the world. Hope you go to great heights and beautiful places with it. Thank you Tanya."
- Sharon
"I couldn't believe how much I resonated with every word and anecdote you shared Tanya. At times it felt like you were only speaking to me and the things I gone through. With emotions flowing and a gratefulness I want to thank you for inviting me to your book launch brunch - it was wonderful meeting a beautiful soul like you."
- All my love, Wendy
"How could I ever go back home and not remember how to love again? Generous, kind and warm - our sweet gem!"
- Hugs Casey & Abby
"Oh my heart skipped a beat when you shined a light on the darkness I was hiding from the world. I appreciate you speaking to me afterwards. Your teachings are lovely and I will treasure your colouring book for many years to come. Please invite me to your next speaking event, I will make the trip from Melbs anytime!"
- Diana Butler
"I've been your friend for ages and didn't even know you were writing and illustrating a colouring book - is that what you kept as a surprise for us these last few months? Love you."
- Lindie
