Textured Paint and Sip Class

Learn how to paint like Monet in a relaxed and creative environment



2.5 hours Location Port Melbourne Class size 15 to 50 guests   $59

Learn to paint like master artist Claude Monet who helped begin the phenomenon of Impressionist painting and express, just like he did, your perception of nature. Using palette knives, we’ll talk you through creating this iconic masterpiece, at this sip and paint class in Melbourne!
This class is perfect for beginners but is as fun for first-time painters as it is for artists with a bit more experience. What’s a palette knife, we hear you ask? A very unique and en vogue style of painting, where we use a knife with brushes to create texture and smear.
Our classes are easy to follow and help you have a great time with your friends and loved ones. So bring along a bottle of wine, a warm coffee or hot chocolate and settle into our welcoming and brand new studio. You’ll be able to bring your favourite nibbles too, to enjoy while you unleash your creativity. BYO food and alcohol.
At the end of this fun paint and sip class in Melbourne, you will leave with your very own rendition of Monet's waterlilies and plenty of new skills in palette knife painting.
