Sydney Watercolour School

Guy Troughton is one of Australia’s most respected professional watercolour artists and is best known for his beautiful bird, wildlife, and landscape painting. Guy’s knowledge of art is vast and his passion and enthusiasm for watercolour is infectious.

Guy began teaching watercolour at the prestigious Julian Ashton Art School in 2000 before establishing his own classes on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. In 2015, together with his partner Ellie, he set up the Sydney Watercolour School with the aim of fostering a greater appreciation and mastery of the medium.

Guy’s experience, skill, and ability to impart knowledge with his own inimitable style, humour and understanding has earnt him many loyal, long-standing students, some of whom are now also passionate watercolour advocates.

Guy’s first rule of watercolour is quite simply “DON’T PANIC!”
