NEW!! Beginners One Day Workshop

Saturday June 19, 2021, Mt Eden Auckland New Zealand BOOK ONLINE

Welcome to my website!!

I hope you find it lively and interesting!

my website includes my original watercolour paintings, Limited Edition Fine Art Prints and access to my classes and workshops.

For me, everywhere is paradise! No matter where we are in the world everywhere is beautiful with it's share of amazing people and stories. My paintings have been described as "happy" and "feel good", there is a very deliberate reason for this: there is enough ugly, too much senseless pain in the world. I need a break from it and I think you probably do too.

I'm not into shock value, I'm just a painter who prefers to communicate via a brush.

I laugh while I paint (in between the scowling and cussing, of course) especially when a watercolour accident makes a most wonderful shape all by itself. My goal is to give you something beautiful you can look at everyday and find a brush stroke or a nuance of colour that, perhaps, you didn't see yesterday.

Amanda Brett - Watercolour Artist

Quality Guarantee: All my watercolours are painted with only modern professional grade watercolour paints on Museum exhibition grade watercolour papers, they are extremely lightfast and will become a family heirloom and passed down to subsequent generations. ALL art of ANY medium should be hung away from direct sunlight. If properly cared for, watercolour paintings will last as long, if not longer, than oil paintings. I only paint on 100% cotton rag paper, mostly Arches and Fabriano, and frame to conservation standard with acid free materials.
