Your instructor
Yoriko Wallis
Watercolour Artist / Instructor
I create watercolour paintings inspired by quiet European towns, exploring light, colour, and atmosphere. In my studio, I teach beginners step by step, focusing on calm, enjoyable learning rather than perfection.
I particularly enjoy working with children and young people, nurturing their creativity, confidence, and personal expression through structured workshops. I also engage with the local community by running classes and small exhibitions, sharing the joy of art and helping young artists connect with others while developing their skills in a supportive, inspiring environment.
