One Day Workshop: Acrylic Painting for Beginners

Create your own small painting after learning all the basics, experimenting a bit, and having a ton of fun too.



6 hours Class size 4 to 12 guests       $245

A complete hands-on introduction to the joy of acrylics.
If you’ve always wanted to paint but didn’t know where to start, this one-day workshop in Perth is for you. Designed for total beginners or those needing a confidence-boosting refresher, this is your chance to explore the world of acrylic painting in a relaxed, encouraging environment.
We’ll start the day with Acrylics 101, getting familiar with paints, brushes, palette knives, mediums, and surfaces. You’ll learn why the ‘right’ materials matter and how to choose what’s best for your goals. Through guided demonstrations and hands-on exercises, you’ll practise essential techniques like layering, blending, and creating texture.
In the afternoon, you’ll apply what you’ve learned by creating your own still life painting on canvas. With a selection of beautiful floral and object-based arrangements to choose from, you'll be gently guided through composition, colour mixing, and building up your final artwork step by step.
You’ll leave with a finished painting, a deeper understanding of the medium, and the confidence to keep creating on your own. This is a relaxed, feel-good day for anyone looking to reconnect with their creativity and fall in love with acrylic painting.
All materials are included — just bring your curiosity!
What you'll get
  • Full use of all the art materials, an art apron, gloves (optional), and a small canvas to create your masterpiece on.
  • Plenty of help and support as and when it’s needed.
  • Light refreshments, tea, coffee, and nibbles only.
  • *Please bring your own packed lunch (you can also pop out and purchase something from a nearby cafe).
Knowledge required
Absolutely no experience of any kind artistically is needed, just the willingness to give it a good go.
What to bring
I would suggest wearing clothes you don’t mind getting any spills on (acrylics won’t come off…), although I do have aprons.

Hi I’m Sophie, qualified and experienced art teacher, life & business coach and professional artist; working from my studio in Perth. I’ve always had a passion for all art and ended up building my career (first in the UK) as a semi abstract painter known for ‘Sea, Boat and Harbour’ themed paintings.
After a long break and now living in Western Australia I’ve finally found my heart again with semi-abstract ‘Florals and Still Lives’.
For my own work I specialise in acrylics predominantly, and love to play with mixed media and collage in my sketchbooks - who knows this may well end up part of my original work too.
I’ve always loved teaching and sharing my knowledge with others, both adults and children. I taught art in the Brighton Steiner School in the UK for 7 years and after that adult classes just followed.
Whether you are a complete beginner never having touched art materials or you’ve dabbled a bit and want to know more - I can’t wait to support you in making art.
