Amanda Brett

Amanda is an award-winning internationally recognised en plein air watercolour artist, with works held in collections in Italy, UK, Ireland, Canada, USA, New Zealand & Australia.
She's totally addicted to the chemical reactions produced by the combination of organic watercolour pigments, traditional watercolour papers and water - she loves watching paint dry!!
Based in her hometown of Auckland, Amanda also lives in Lucca for her annual painting residency and to teach her workshops in Italy.
Amanda says "Watercolour is for the minimalist, less is definitely more! I create paintings that are atmospheric with interesting shapes - almost California Art style. I let colours run into each other creating a unique underpainting and telling my story through a detailed focal area. I want you to see something new every time you look at my paintings."
