WHAT THEY SAY...
There’s no denying florals are tricky…You just have to trust the process!
The flexibility of recordings and videos made this possible. So don’t use the “I just don’t have time” excuse if that’s the only reason stopping you from this course.
It was absoulutely worth the investment, it revolutionised my way of working and opened up so many new opportunities – things that I would never have been able to learn in isolation! There’s definitely something magical about being a part of an intense creative course where everyone is just as enthusiastic about painting and learning as me!
Complete compositions has been an absolutely incredible course to take. The wealth of knowledge that Natasha shares and the time that she dedicates to giving student feedback makes this course the best course that I have ever taken. There were so many valuable lessons learnt such as; brush technique, mapping out compositions, anchoring your flowers, using colour for highlights and shadow and how to create movement and flow in my designs. The course has really given me the foundations and confidence to continue to improve my floral painting skills and to grow as a textile print designer.
Painting florals is my passion and I now have a variety of floral designs for the fashion print industry. My portfolio is more focused, much stronger and has variety. Natasha was so generous in sharing her knowledge of painting florals and the design industry. I highly recommend this course for anyone that really wants to learn.
This course with Natasha has helped me to go a step further in my floral watercolors, which will undoubtedly help me to make more beautiful prints. I’ve loved learning Wet on wet. A lightbulb moment is to realized almost everything can be fixed.
Watercolour Academy was a deep dive into levelling up and experimenting with new techniques – not only did her lessons push beyond what I thought I’d be able to do with watercolour, they also reminded me of the simple joy you get from playing with colour! Natasha is a font of design knowledge, offering artistic wisdom with a personal approach to teaching.
Wow – Watercolour Academy took things to the whole next level. From wet on wet, controlling bleeds, dry brushing and embracing negative spaces and best of all Fixing Mistakes – I was in watercolour heaven.
I love being part of the In House Creative group, it’s great to connect with like-minded designers from around the world and Natasha is incredibly generous with her time and knowledge of the industry. The monthly tutorials are always a great learning resource and have helped me be more experimental with my painting. This is without question the best membership for textile design.
I am also new to design and currently working towards a portfolio to hopefully work for a studio. I am so glad I joined the In House community. There’s so many tutorials to stretch my skill set and challenge new ways of working. Lots of content to keep me inspired and also a really friendly community to ask questions from. Plus plenty of ‘Natasha time’ with co-working sessions, live Q+A and monthly paint along creative club. I feel really supported and inspired and feel like I am in the perfect community to work towards my dream of being a designer.
Without the In House community, especially while I am in the beginnings of my career, I definitely would not be growing as much as I am and I don’t think I would have made it this far in the past year without it. Many of us cannot work in-house and therefore cannot gain the experience we need to work in the industry. In House Creative helps bridge that gap.
