Amanda Hyatt is an alla prima watercolour artist who has been a professional for 30 years. She has won many major awards in Australia, including The Alice Bale, The Kenneth Jack and The Camberwell. Amanda paints spontaneously with immediate reaction to a subject both in the studio and en plein air. She paints quickly and intuitively, involving thinking and sensitivity. She encourages her students to see the light, the negative space, the tones and fluidity of the seemingly unpredictable medium of watercolour.

Amanda Hyatt is a member of The Twenty Melbourne Painters Society and The Australian Watercolour Institute for twenty-three years. Her career has seen thirty-three solo exhibitions, with articles published in magazines such as Flashart (USA), L’Art de L’Aquarelle (France) and The Artist (UK).

Amanda Hyatt has DVDs and downloads by APV Films (UK) and gives teaching art tours continuously, both nationally and internationally for Travelrite International. In 2015 she is taking a Baltic Cruise around Finland, St. Petersburg, Sweden, Denmark and Estonia for Traverite International.
