Q: I've never taken an art class before but would really like to explore abstract painting. During your classes is there opportunity to paint on large canvas? or will they mostly be smaller pieces of work or on paper?
A: The class caters for people who have not painted at all as well as people who have. I find that most students have not painted before. They enjoy the class and all can paint. I take you through the use of the tools and different techniques and then we have opportunities to create our own art. Everyone has fun and there’s no pressure. I think you will enjoy it a lot.
The half day class always seems to go so quickly so we paint on paper only. The day classes I hold we end up painting on a canvas in the afternoon. But if you would like to paint on a canvas for your last work in the half day class then you are more than welcome to pay an extra $10 on the day and I’ll have a canvas there for you. Or if you wish to bring your own canvas that’s an option too.
Q: What's the cancellation policy?
A: Free to cancel or reschedule up until 7 days before the class
Q: How long does the class run for, what's the price?
A: 3 hours, $99 per person

Your teacher
For over the past 20 years I have been a professional artist in the medium of painting. I studied a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree at University of NSW, College of Fine Arts, Sydney. I worked in the film and photographic industries to then come back full circle to my love of painting. From this love I have exhibited in over 40 solo and group shows in galleries within Australia. Through my work I explore the essence of life – awareness, love, and the source of our being.
I am an Advanced Psychotherapist and support people through one to one sessions, classes, and retreats, to open to challenges being faced and to realise who is here which is deeper than any challenges. (for One to One sessions please contact me via my Instagram). Through Classbento you can discover the classes I offer - Abstract art, Wellbeing (includes Qigong, Meditation, "Enquiry"/awareness discovery) for adults, young adults, Meditation class, and The Joy of Being - Art & Wellbeing for children. These classes support people create, express, open, and discover one's true self.
Whatever medium I use, the purpose behind it is my love to open more deeply to truth and freedom and support people to discover what's here. I am deeply interested in people realising who they truly are beyond challenges, thoughts, emotions, or body difficulties.

Interesting class, teacher helpful and engaged, a variety of techniques demonstrated and then tried by group. This has added another dimension to my budding artistic endeavours.
Alyssa Willis • Nov 2020
Yvette was a fantastic host who facilitated the class well. We were all beginners and she spent some time going through techniques with us. Very patient with a lovely energy.
The studio was well equipped and we had everything we needed to create our masterpieces.
I feel we are now well set up to continue to expand on our knowledge and explore mediums creating our own pieces in the future.
Tegan Partington • Jan 2020

A very pleasant morning and a great space to work in. Yvette is lovely and I'm sure she knows a lot about abstract art. It was a good class that I would recommend to others.

Great value for money! Really enjoyed the acrylic painting with meditation. Yvette was a patient and calm teacher and let us go with the flow with our painting and relax .
All materials were provided and most of us painted four pieces including one canvas.
Venue was good with free parking around the roads at the back. Main road too busy and only 2hr parking.
Very much enjoyed the class especially as it was just four people.
Thankyou!

Yvette was a fabulous teacher. V relaxed vibe made me feel really comfortable great venue with really good materials loved the meditation and the morning tea as well as enjoying and getting totally caught up in the art highly recommend
