Your teacher
The VAS art studio occupies an original bluestone building opened in 1874. Though almost totally subsumed by gallery in 1895, it still serves both as a studio and a reminder of our history. Designed by architect Leonard Terry, who had worked principally as a designer of warehouses and banks, it was a single-storey construction without windows.Since then, the VAS studio has survived extensions, renovations and massive restoration projects to be associated with the careers of some of the most significant artists of Australian history. It is within these walls that young artists including Arthur Streeton, Charles Conder, Tom Roberts, Walter Withers and Frederick McCubbin commenced their journey of brushstrokes. The original floor of Baltic pine, worn by the feet of these artists and coloured with 150 years of paint, still remains alongside original tables and easels. To this day, the Victorian Artists Society offers classes catering to all experience levels, from beginners to professional artists, in oil, watercolour, acrylic, drawing and sculpture. Classes cover techniques such as portraiture from a life model, landscape and still life. Daytime, afternoon, evening and weekend classes are conducted in the historic VAS Studio and are taught by highly regarded artists.In addition to our 10 week courses, we also regularly offer workshops and a number of casual sessions including life and portrait.
