Japanese Brushstroke Painting Class

We loved this class! Di was a talented and patient teacher. We got through so much in the 3 hours, and you could really feel the improvement in technique as you went. It was excellent value for money, and a wonderful experience all round.

Introduction to Acrylic Painting Workshop

Vanessa is organised - the workshop was relaxing and progressing effortlessly. I had a great time and returned home with a sense of achievement carrying my painting of a goddess.

Paint and Sip Class at Bayside Saturdays

Our teacher and assistant were incredibly helpful. They helped make the session a Really great experience. The materials were of great quality and plentiful. Gumdale tavern was a perfect venue and catered to all our needs. We even stayed for dinner.

Our teacher Dianne, was kind, encouraging, knowledgeable and helpful. The venue is perfectly suitable for a painting class. The paints and tools were plentiful.

Leilani Stabe • Apr 2021

Intro to Palette Knife Painting with Impasto

What a shame this wasn't the first class I took with this group. Di was really the most fantastic, wonderful teacher. For a non art student like me to get shown the importance of colour mixing and various techniques to use gave me the best chance of walking away with a piece of art work I was actually happy to say I had done. It is sad that 5 stars is the most I can give for this class. I highly recommend + more

Paint and Sip Class: BYO Friday City Night

My group thoroughly enjoyed this class, something we have not considered doing previously but so glad we took time out to do something different on a Friday night. Our teacher was patient with us and took the time to explain the technique and instructions as none of us are drawers or painters. The venue was relaxing and welcoming. We were offered cooled water, glasses for our BYO drinks. I highly recommend + more

Watercolour Paint and Sip Class: Native Insects

It was a great class, I really didn’t think I could create something so good on my first attempt at water colours. Teacher was really clear in directions and fun. It was a really friendly atmosphere and and great venue. I’ll be back for another class.

Tracey Bell • Mar 2021

Paint and Sip Class - Private

We had a great time learning to paint. The venue was good and our teacher was really good at explaining everything to us. Would definitely recommend doing it as it was a lot of fun.

Allison Doherty • Mar 2021

Paint and Sip Class: BYO Friday City Night

The class was a lovely way to celebrate my birthday. It was easy to follow along with and honestly have and will recommend it to everybody. My one comment would be that myself and my boyfriend did not appreciate that one of the teachers commented on his painting saying “is that supposed to be a turtle?”. But besides from that we enjoyed spending the night doing something new!

Pania Doevendans • Mar 2021

Health Benefits of Painting

Painting is so good for you! Not only does is reduce stress and help you to express your emotions in a different way, it also increases your focus and allows you to completely switch off and be present in what you are doing. If you start painting regularly you will find that your memory and visualisation skills begin to improve and you will be more creative in the way you problem solve in day to day life. More importantly, you might find your perspective start to shift because when you’re painting you’re looking for beauty in every detail and you might just find yourself looking for the beauty in everyday life.
