There's something deeply satisfying about working on a large canvas. Big brushstrokes, bold colour choices, and the freedom to fill a surface with your own expressive marks - this is abstract painting done properly.
In this 2.5-hour paint and sip class at our Northcote studio, your fine arts qualified teacher will guide you through creating a large abstract painting in acrylic. You'll explore colour relationships, composition, layering, and texture using broad brushes, palette knives, and your own intuition. No painting experience is needed - in fact, the abstract format means beginners often produce the most exciting results.
This is one of our most popular adult art classes in Melbourne, and it's perfect for a social night out, a birthday group, a date, or just treating yourself to something genuinely creative.
We're Paint With Me, an award-winning creativity school in Northcote, open 7 days a week. We're NDIS-accessible and run private paint and sip events for corporate teams, hens nights, birthdays, and group celebrations - in our studio and on-site at your office, venue, or conference. Message us through ClassBento to arrange your private event.
