About
Hi I'm Zara. I'm an art teacher based in Brighton who teaches beginner watercolour classes to adults. This is the sort of job that I can't believe I get paid for. Teaching gives me positivity and energy and to me it's just like getting to hang out with lovely people and paint.
Watercolours is something that I picked up in my mid 20s. I've always dabbled in it (like I have with many other art mediums) but one Christmas after doing a mini watercolour class for fun with my mum and aunt, I realised this is something I could actually earn money from. I knew enough to teach beginners and I needed some extra cash at the time, so I started up a 'Sip and Paint' at the Sidewinder in Kemptown. Shortly after I started up 'Morning Watercolours' at Waterstones, Brighton, which has been going on since 2023.
Over the last few years I've been slowly developing my watercolour business and hope to eventually go full time. On the side I do lots of different odd jobs like painting and decorating, graphic design, illustration and murals. I have many ideas and plans of where I'd like to take things - such as retreats, more outdoor classes, recorded courses, books and so on. But at the same time, I'm extremely content with just teaching little cafe classes every week. It heals my soul!
