About Terry Jarvis

Terry Jarvis is one of Australia’s exceptional Watercolour Artists. His passion for his craft and his love for the wonderful medium of Watercolour is revealed through his varied subject matter ranging from magnificent Australian scenes to paintings of his travels.

He is an award winner in his chosen field and his work hangs in collections many countries around the World.

Terry Loves the challenges that every Watercolour brings, to catch the light, to capture that special moment in time, to discover that Watercolour is forever your master in all of its nuances, its edges and its flow across a page that delights the heart.

Tutoring and sharing the delights of the watercolour medium is only secondary to creating my own work.

It will always be a privilege to paint with this wonderful medium.

“It’s like writing a book, visually, without the words. Tutoring and sharing the delights of the watercolour medium is only secondary to creating my own work.”

A Day out Looks Like this:

You’ll start your day with a breakfast of freshly baked French pastries, homemade yoghurt, or fresh fruit, which you can enjoy in the conservatory as you watch the sun rise. We’ll head out around 9 am when the places we visit are quiet and the weather is perfect.

You can spend a morning exploring a new place by walking around the side streets to get a feel for the local atmosphere or by sitting in a quiet spot to do some sketching. There’s always a beautiful picnic lunch of fresh salads, quiches, homemade cookies, and much more waiting in the shade when you’re ready to eat (wine, of course!).

Then, in the afternoons, we generally head back to the studio for some creative time as well as some time to use the pool, nap or find a quiet spot for reading, sunbathing, painting or chatting.

In the evening, we put on a homemade, locally sourced 3-course meal complete with wine. Katel really is the star of the show; you won’t be disappointed with her cooking!

After dinner, you’re free to head back to the studio to paint, enjoy the sunset or use the hot tub. There are plenty of little walks to go on, lots of nature to experience or time to catch up with family and friends.

We design our workshops so that everyone gets what they want out of their time with us.
