3 hours Location Castle Hill Class size 1 to 12 guests   $79 (Afterpay available)

Step into the world of Impressionist painting with this vibrant and expressive acrylic art workshop, perfect for both beginners and experienced painters. If you’re looking for inspiring painting classes for adults or a hands-on acrylic painting workshop near you, this creative session is the perfect escape into colour, light, and texture.
Impressionism revolutionised the art world by moving beyond realism to capture the fleeting beauty of everyday life—often painted outdoors and bathed in natural light. Inspired by iconic artists like Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, and Berthe Morisot, this acrylic workshop invites you to explore their techniques while interpreting the unique beauty of the Australian landscape.
Guided by an experienced instructor, you’ll learn how to:
  • Use impasto mediums for thick, light-catching textures
  • Apply layering and scumbling for atmospheric depth
  • Build luminosity through glazing techniques
  • Blend paint wet-on-wet for soft transitions
  • Experiment with broken colour and bold brushwork to convey form and movement
Using high-quality acrylic materials, you’ll paint expressive skies, glowing reflections, and moody mountain silhouettes, bringing your Jasart canvas board to life.
Whether you're starting your painting journey or looking to refine your technique, this immersive class offers the perfect opportunity to relax, experiment, and connect with fellow art lovers. Join us for a rich and rewarding creative experience, and take home a vibrant Impressionist-style landscape of your own.

  • 5/5 from Kylie Pace, attended Aug 2026: This was my first painting class and it was so much fun. Shibbi made everything so easy to follow and was happy to answer questions. I will definitely be back to do more classes and learn some different techniques.
  • 4/5 from Mridul Sood, attended Aug 2026: Shibani/ Shibi is a talented artist and instructor She patiently delivered her instructions, giving us time to progress at our pace before moving forward. I look forward to doing more sessions with her.
  • 5/5 from Colleen Nicholas, attended Jun 2026: I really enjoyed the workshop. Teacher was excellent. The class was relaxing and fun. I feel more confident about acrylic painting.
  • 4/5 from Fiona Ezzy, attended Jun 2026: I enjoyed painting with acrylics but have never used the medium we mixed in. I had difficulty getting streak free applications. I feel the class is too big. It was my 1st time painting Impressionist-Monet. Maybe I need more time as I felt it was very rushed at the end and the teacher does not have time to teach slower students with the techniques & so I missed a lot of the steps too. Maybe Landscape is not for me.
