Acrylic Workshop: Paint Tasmania's Poppy Fields Like Renoir

Blend light and colour in a Renoir-style acrylic workshop.



3 hours Location Caringbah Class size 1 to 10 guests   $79 (Afterpay available)

Step into the world of Impressionist painting in this vibrant and hands-on acrylic art workshop, where you’ll explore the light, movement, and beauty of Tasmania’s famous white poppy fields. If you’re looking for inspiring painting classes or immersive acrylic painting workshops near you, this session offers a unique opportunity to create a joyful, expressive landscape using professional materials and timeless techniques.
Inspired by the luminous style of Pierre-Auguste Renoir, you’ll learn how to paint with soft, broken brushstrokes, build rich texture with acrylic gel mediums, and blend colour to evoke light and atmosphere. With expert instruction and live demonstration, this workshop will guide you through Renoir’s approach to composition, brushwork, and colour harmony, helping you translate the delicate beauty of Tasmania’s floral landscapes into a richly textured acrylic painting.
Working with Liquitex acrylic paints and mediums on Jasart linen boards, you’ll be encouraged to loosen your technique, experiment with layering, and embrace the spontaneous, light-filled spirit of Impressionism. Whether you’re expanding your artistic practice or looking to connect with your creativity in a supportive studio setting, this workshop provides a relaxed, engaging environment to build your skills and confidence.
All materials are provided for use during the session; just bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to explore. By the end of the workshop, you’ll take home a luminous, Renoir-inspired still life of Tasmania’s poppy fields and a deeper understanding of how to work with acrylics for expressive, impressionistic results.

  • 5/5 from Louise Black, attended Nov 2026: I learnt about light and dark a it em related to perspective and depth Teacher iis great very encouraging. Atmosphere was relaxed. Teacher Laura) sets a good reflexes positive atmosphere and appreciates each person's attempts
  • 4/5 from Carol Lynn Macleod, attended Nov 2026: I wanted to try acrylics, and I liked the picture we were using. We learnt about acrylic paints and Impressionist art style. Teacher was very good and very caring and supportive. It appeared that this was her first try with the picture and instructions, and probably would have been a bit better if she had tried these before the class. Atmosphere was friendly. We finished an hour earlier than advertised- meant contacting my pick up earlier than I had advised. Also we were advised to bring a bottle of water, when there was a water dispenser in the room. The class ran from 11:30-2:30 officially, making it challenging for people who wanted/ needed lunch. It didn’t worry me, but may have stopped others from attending. Thanks for the class. It was fun.
  • 4/5 from Annette Owen, attended Nov 2026: The teacher Laura was positive toward everyone & very welcoming. Her tuition & explanation of impressionists was very good. The class atmosphere was friendly & warm. I enjoyed using the acrylic paints & mixing process with limited colours. A couple of us were disappointed that the class only went for 2 hours (not 3 as advertised). It could have allowed time to finish or add touches to our works & mingle with others with similar interests.
