What you'll do
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, and build luminosity through glazing techniques. You’ll also discover how to blend paint wet-on-wet for soft transitions, and 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.

Recent reviews of Impressionist Acrylic Painting Workshop - Monet
- 5/5 from Severen River, attended Aug 2026: Wonderful class on the style of impressionism. Learnt a lot of new methods; to create distance and build up clouds. Clouds are hard! But Cat made it really accessible.
- 5/5 from Malcolm Potter, attended Aug 2026: Good fun and a nice looking painting produced with the aid of the very competent artist leading the activity.
- 5/5 from Kim Abrahams, attended Aug 2026: Relaxed easy going atmosphere. Very non judgey. I had not used acrylic before and learned so much. I am really confident to have a go at home. The teacher, Cata, was very encouraging and managed to everyone individual attention.
- 5/5 from Jo Cosgriff, attended Aug 2026: Lots of fun! Great teacher who had time to help everyone and answer all our questions.
- 5/5 from Karyn Freeman, attended Apr 2026: Fabulous class with Catalina in a lovely space. Great mix of instruction and freedom to interpret plus practical advice and support. Thanks for a fun event.
- 5/5 from Zoe Pei, attended Apr 2026: It is a Great experience and love it. Painting with cozy music. Expecting for next one. :)
- 5/5 from Zeena G Lobo, attended Apr 2026: Katerina was great advising and showing us the technique. She helped where required. Happy to attend another of her classes.
- 4/5 from Sharon Schultz, attended Apr 2026: I really enjoyed the Monet workshop. The teacher was great and shared lots of useful information. I was very happy with my painting.
- 5/5 from Mauricio Vieira Azevedo, attended Sep 2025: Class was fantastic and good atmosphere Cata is always amazing
- 5/5 from Louise Smithers, attended Sep 2025: A large class today, meeting some new people along with some familiar faces. Wonderful guidance by Cata. Loads of laughs and encouragement by all. Always learning about the products, technique and history. Special mention to all the staff @eckersleys Prahran.
- 5/5 from Krystine Habel, attended Sep 2025: Teacher was very nice and approachable. Could tell she was a real artist, learned some techniques. Enjoyable class.
- 5/5 from Kevin::balshaw, attended Sep 2025: Instructor Catalina was brilliant guiding us through the exercise. The result far exceeds my expectation and will spend its days in a frame on the wall. There was a great crew at the class as well, and there was plenty of support and encouragement among us. My first freelance painting …
- 5/5 from Olivia Hines, attended Sep 2025: Very enjoyable class with Katarina. We focussed more on technique than in paint and sip classes.
- 5/5 from Ursula::mccoll-Jones, attended Sep 2025: Well organised, Cata, great teacher, and I will come back again.
- 5/5 from Lisa Young, attended Sep 2025: Very enjoyable class, learnt alot as it was my first attempt at acrylic painting. Very encouraging and supportive teacher, she's brilliant ️
- 4/5 from Asmita Tamhankar, attended Sep 2025: Teacher was good in general, I only wish if she was more attentive in listening to my questions. Twice during the class I asked a few questions, repeated my question at times, she could not even listen. (The pitch of my voice was fairly loud as I sat in the 3rd row). At one instance the lady in the front row repeated my question to the teacher. Second time, when I asked a question relating to a medium/ varnish question, she didn't hear at all again. I didn't bother to ask her again. This was disappointing! Second feedback I have is wastage of precious colors, everyone had taken way too much color on their palette, I really wish if we were given some small sealable plastic containers to take away any remaining color on the palette, that would be great, sustainable approach. I liked the loose way of painting which is quite unlike my own style of painting.
