Relaxing and pleasant time
I was a bit nervous if I could paint a picture but all my worries were disappeared quickly.
The teacher kindly showed me how to paint and how colors with water make subtle difference on a paper.
I could learn a lot of tips and the time passed so fast.
It was relaxing and very pleasant time.
I would like to take an another lesson to learn more from him.

An enriching and theraputic experience !
I must really appreciate that Yao Khuan extended the session by close to an hour. He did not rush though and guided patiently though all the steps.
Before joining the session I was apprehensive about whether I'll be able to paint again..but after this session I gained back confidence to explore and practice more water color painting and refine my skills.
I was awestruck to see Yao Khuan's creations. Never new you can do so many variations with water colors. I would definitely like to go back for an advance session.
I strongly recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn basics of watercolor or want to refine their skills. Truly rewarding experience.

Super Dope Painting Class!
Not only was he good with his craft, Yao Khuan was very flexible when it comes to my special request to paint my fiancee.
I think Yao Khaun is very good at teaching. His step-by-step, hold you-by-the-hand (not literally) approach is very easy to grasp for beginners and the result can speak for itself. I super like the paintings we did. Really appreciate the coaching and I highly recommend it to whoever wants to learn painting.

Memorable and Positive Experience
The teacher, YK, was very patient and encouraging, and even extended by another hour so that we could finish our artwork. He went through the whole process of introducing the materials, guiding us step by step on sketching the sushi, and then finally on painting them with watercolor. He was very informative and constantly provided us with tips on improving our artwork, yet giving us a lot of opportunities to create our own distinct style. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment as it felt like a painting session with friends. We were also very satisfied with the end result!
We would highly recommend anyone with or without prior art experience to sign up for any workshops with YK and we would definitely attend more of them in the future.

Best workshop I've ever attended!
Yao Khuan was also really friendly, doesn't rush you (he actually extended the class by an hour omg), and his patience is a great virtue for a teacher! Art can be SO STRESSFUL when you're rushed. He also breaks the ice so quickly that you will not feel like it's the first time you see him! His explanation is always very clear and precise, and he definitely knows what he's doing, not just winging it.
I came out of the class really encouraged, and he actually piqued my interest in sketching! (I previously only wanted to learn because I know it was important, wasn't actually interested opps)
I am definitely going to learn more from him as a private student, because learning from him is actually very relaxed and stress-free. The fact that not only can he teach so well, helping me to bring home useful knowledge for the art medium, but also bringing home an art piece that I am proud of helped me decide that I want to learn at least sketching under him.
For some photos of what I did during the workshop, I have some photos on my Dayre, (https://dayre.me/doubleoxm/I3TtId5HSb)
Thank you Yao Khuan! Can't wait to attend your watercolour workshop next!

Unpretentious, he provides you what you are looking for, on his family's kitchen table.
We discussed what I wanted to learn, got into the heart of it. We had fun drawing portraits, adjusting where needed. I learned a lot, and got motivated to do more.

I had a lot of fun learning watercolour!
As it was just a starter course, the 'exercises' themselves were kept simple but covered the basics sufficiently. It essentially covered types of brushes, paper and paints to use, how to correctly use the brush and paint, how watercolour works, tips and tricks to get a painting to look a certain way, perceiving 3D objects, light and shadow, etc. If you want a lesson to help give a kickstart to using watercolour, this starter course will be an excellent choice!

10/10: Stress-free, Ideal for beginners
(my fundamentals of drawing review is under my watercolor starter course review, argh silly me)
I shall review my Watercolor starter course here then!
Watercolor course begin right after my fundamentals of drawing class. (There was a short break in between where Yao Khuan offered me a snack hahaha) The 2 lessons were supposed to happen on separate but back to back days initially, (Sat, Sun) but Yao Khuan was really thoughtful and offered the chance to have both lessons at one go so I wouldn't have to travel back again the next day. (YAY)
As we spent extra time on the "fundamentals of drawing" session, I was worried that I would have insufficient time in my watercolor starter course as the previous lesson 'ate' into the time that was allocated for my watercolor course. However Yao Khuan was again generous to extend the lesson until I have gotten the gist of watercolor painting:))))
He let me play around with the brush pen so I can get use to how it sits in my hand and how I can control it more effectively.
I learned about negative spaces and how I should lightly sketch the outline of an object that I will be painting so that the pencil mark wouldn't show after going over with paint.
I remembered how I used to hate watercolor in Primary school as I had no idea how it works and how I should use it. I only knew that the color I intended will always turn out faded or 'smudged' and it is not as straightforward as how acrylic paints are.
I learned how to create gradients and smooth-transitioning shades of a color, blending techniques and the correct way of maneuvering the brush.
It was certainly a fruitful session where I learned basic watercolor techniques which will allow me to explore watercolor painting in a more "refined" way, creating pleasing artwork instead of awkward blotches of irregular and harsh colors that do not come together.

10/10: Stress-free, Ideal for beginners
First of all, I was a little apprehensive about attending a small group (1-2 participant(s)) art lesson as I wasn't confident of producing anything aesthetically pleasing which stresses me out imagining being under scrutiny for an hour and a half.
However contrary to what I've expected, the session was carried out in a very relaxed atmosphere almost as if you're learning from a friend rather than an unacquainted instructor. Thanks to Yao Khuan who was exceptionally accommodating, patient in answering all my questions and encouraging, I sincerely enjoyed myself and picked up lots of drawing tips and techniques and expanded my "visual library".
The session was especially helpful as I've always had trouble drawing real-life portraits, how to look out for shadows to apply shading and how to draw pleasant-looking noses that doesn't ruin the face hahaha.
I was really surprised and satisfied by how my portrait turned out. I didn't think I was capable of creating something like that initially.
Also have to mention that Yao Khuan extended the session by close to an hour!!! He did not rush me at all and guided me through the steps which he had broken down for easier understanding and I did not realize time flew by so quickly heh.
Will really recommend this to anyone who is interested in drawing but need not necessarily have art background. If you would like to progress from your doodles, then this is definitely the lesson for you:D

Great class to learn how to paint with watercolour
But Yao Khuan didn't take any short cuts, he extended the lesson by quite abit, and we got to do halloween greeting cards in addition to learning the basics with a flower painting. So we got 2! Although I don't know if people usually do 2 hah.
My friend found Yao Khuan to be a patient and approachable teacher, who is great for people who want to experience water colouring with a relaxed pace.
True that, most patient teacher ever.

As we spent extra time on the "fundamentals of drawing" session, I was worried that I would have insufficient time in my watercolor starter course as the previous lesson 'ate' into the time that was allocated for my watercolor course. However Yao Khuan was again generous to extend the lesson until I have gotten the gist of watercolor painting:))))
He let me play around with the brush pen so I can get use to how it sits in my hand and how I can control it more effectively.
I learned about negative spaces and how I should lightly sketch the outline of an object that I will be painting so that the pencil mark wouldn't show after going over with paint.
I remembered how I used to hate watercolor in Primary school as I had no idea how it works and how I should use it. I only knew that the color I intended will always turn out faded or 'smudged' and it is not as straightforward as how acrylic paints are.
I learned how to create gradients and smooth-transitioning shades of a color, blending techniques and the correct way of maneuvering the brush.
It was certainly a fruitful session where I learned basic watercolor techniques which will allow me to explore watercolor painting in a more "refined" way, creating pleasing artwork instead of awkward blotches of irregular and harsh colors that do not come together.

10/10: Stress-free, Ideal for beginners
First of all, I was a little apprehensive about attending a small group (1-2 participant(s)) art lesson as I wasn't confident of producing anything aesthetically pleasing which stresses me out imagining being under scrutiny for an hour and a half.
However contrary to what I've expected, the session was carried out in a very relaxed atmosphere almost as if you're learning from a friend rather than an unacquainted instructor. Thanks to Yao Khuan who was exceptionally accommodating, patient in answering all my questions and encouraging, I sincerely enjoyed myself and picked up lots of drawing tips and techniques and expanded my "visual library".
The session was especially helpful as I've always had trouble drawing real-life portraits, how to look out for shadows to apply shading and how to draw pleasant-looking noses that doesn't ruin the face hahaha.
I was really surprised and satisfied by how my portrait turned out. I didn't think I was capable of creating something like that initially.
Also have to mention that Yao Khuan extended the session by close to an hour!!! He did not rush me at all and guided me through the steps which he had broken down for easier understanding and I did not realize time flew by so quickly heh.
Will really recommend this to anyone who is interested in drawing but need not necessarily have art background. If you would like to progress from your doodles, then this is definitely the lesson for you:D

Great class to learn how to paint with watercolour
But Yao Khuan didn't take any short cuts, he extended the lesson by quite abit, and we got to do halloween greeting cards in addition to learning the basics with a flower painting. So we got 2! Although I don't know if people usually do 2 hah.
My friend found Yao Khuan to be a patient and approachable teacher, who is great for people who want to experience water colouring with a relaxed pace.
True that, most patient teacher ever.

Enjoyable and Good Experience
Maybe my starting base is low for a start, but now i believe with the proper guidance one can actually improve so much faster. The onus is now on me to constantly practice what i learn. High chance ill go back and take up more lessons from him.
