Maybe you want to learn how to do oil or acrylic painting, take a beginner’s watercolour painting class, or let your creativity loose with a paint and sip class.

People often think that painting is best left to artists – it’s something that the majority of us stop doing when we leave leave primary school and are too apprehensive to try again. But that’s no reason to think you can’t practice and have some fun with it. The best thing about painting is that there are so many different styles, from portraiture to still life, landscape painting and abstraction. No matter your skill level with a brush, there really is something for everyone. So we’ve sourced some of the best painting teachers in Sydney so that you can find the perfect class for you, your friends and your family.

Our painting classes are perfect for beginners or the more experienced painters, and our professional teachers offer private tutorial classes or group painting sessions. Our kids painting classes also make excellent school holiday activities in Sydney. Likewise, if you’re looking to give an experience gift to someone special these classes are a great option.

Unleash your inner artist as our teachers take you through essential skills and painting techniques with a series of different painting exercises. Dependent on which class you choose materials may be provided, and at the end of the class you will have your own hand painted masterpiece to take home with you. Some of our classes encourage you to BYO some wine so you can get creative in a social atmosphere.

Health Benefits of Painting

Painting can be so much more than just a creative outlet: it’s a proven therapeutic tool, and when practiced regularly, can improve concentration and sharpen your fine motor skills. The process of painting increases your memory and visualisation skills as you find yourself remembering specific details of a scene or a photograph when you’re trying to reproduce it on the canvas. For those with a more analytical brain or dominant left hemisphere, painting is an incredible way to practice new creative skills and diversify your thinking patterns. It is also a great stress reliever, as painting allows you to take a break from your mind and focus on expressing yourself in a different way. When painting you will find yourself looking for the beauty in your subject matter, which alters your perspective of the world and can help you shift into a more positive mindset.

We had an awesome night. I had never painted anything in my life and walked away with a lasting memory. Structured enough for the beginner but freedom of creative licence to make it your own.

Watercolour Painting Class: Marine Animals



Great intro class into watercolour painting. Carlie is very knowledgable and helpful. Having sample artwork to see her technique on really helped to visualise the potential end results. Having all the materials and paint supplied was excellent, and doing a practice piece of each of the 4 techniques first was a good idea. I'll definitely be doing more painting at home now!

Paint and Sip Class - Paint Your Pet



Such a great class! I had zero painting experience and do not consider myself to be very artistic. The teacher was very helpful and the timings allowed for enough time to finish the painting without feeling rushed. All materials were supplied. Definitely recommend! A very mindful and relaxing experience where I left feeling proud of what I had created.
