Fun Painting classes / courses in Sydney
Fun painting classes in Sydney
If you’re looking for fun things to do in Parramatta, why not try your hand at one of our painting classes in Sydney.
Whether you’re looking for corporate team building activities in Sydney or fun things to do in Sydney at night, we have loads of different painting classes and art classes taught by teachers of different expertise. 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.
Custom classes
Want to learn or experience something specific? You can easily contact our teachers and arrange a custom workshop at your preferred time and to suit your skill level.
If you’re looking for a unique and memorable event these workshops are perfect things to do with friends on the weekend, for aged care groups, team building exercises, indoor things to do, and kids weekend activities. We've got a range of teachers who cater specifically to larger events, and we can customise classes to meet your needs. Get in touch today and we'll put something together for you.

Some recent reviews for our Painting classes
Dianna Lang
Thanks Yvette for designing a balanced, thoughtful session packed with tools and techniques. I came away with new skills and plenty of inspiration.
Jenny Lao
Sonia was very patient and informative with my cousins and I who are beginners in acrylic painting. We love how passionate and creative Sonia is! We had a very enjoyable and peaceful time whilst painting the Eiffel Tower. I definitely recommend lessons with Sonia and will be doing it again in the near future. Thankyou Sonia!

Watercolour Painting for Absolute Beginners
Pamela did an excellent job leading the class on the fundamentals of watercolors. She explained the importance of using high quality watercolor paper (heavy weight paper with glycerin coating to slow water absorption), how to identify a good paint brush (bristles that return to true after bending) and the difference in cost/quality of water color paints. She also demonstrated various techniques suchPamela did an excellent job leading the class on the fundamentals of watercolors. She explained the importance of using high quality watercolor paper (heavy weight paper with glycerin coating to slow water absorption), how to identify a good paint brush (bristles that return to true after bending) and the difference in cost/quality of water color paints. She also demonstrated various techniques such as wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, watercolor mechanics, masking with wax, texturing with salt as well as others. Her camera set up gave us a bird eye view of her canvas, and she clearly explain what she was doing. It was very easy to follow along and practice. Overall I’m very happy with the class and it greatly exceeded my previous experience self learning watercolor. + more

Calm Your Mind with Watercolour Meditations
Fun and relaxing as always! This was a very cleverly put together workshop, for both conscious practice and artistic colour skills. Thanks Vanessa xx
Laura Soutter
Watercolour Painting for Absolute Beginners
Great class for a total beginner to learn a few techniques and finish up painting a peony that looks pretty decent
Claire Cooke
Watercolour Painting for Absolute Beginners
This class was lots of fun. I enjoyed learning the techniques in detail before creating an art work. Pamela is warm and welcoming!
Linna Abdi
Watercolour Painting for Absolute Beginners
Amazing lesson! Loved the step by step instructions and tips provided to get the best out of watercolour painting.
Kerrie Young
This class was great. I had not done an art class this this before and it was good to be part of the experience. Steve was passionate about what he does and bought that excitement to the class. Everyone went home with two unique and fun pieces of art. Who knew finger painting could be so much fun.
Siobhan O'Donnell

Was a great class! Pamela was great ! It was a fast pace but I think that what was so good about it as you didn’t overthink! Will recommend to friends as a great introduction to water colours! i will definitely book in again can’t believe that I actually painted a flower and it looked really good Thankyou
Hermione Inskip
Watercolour Painting for Absolute Beginners
Yet again, had a great time. Pamela was very knowledgeable, easy to follow, and very helpful.
Grace Wye
This was a really lovely class. Yvette has a calm, relaxed approach to the class and allows time for integrating new techniques. The meditation was well-suited and I left feeling like I had been equipped with tools to explore painting further in my own time. Would love to do it again. Thanks so much!
Ellena Oakes
Calm Your Mind with Watercolour Meditations
Thanks Vanessa for another amazing class. It was lovely to be able to practical at the same time as mindful. I really enjoyed both the structured and unstructured watercolour tasks. I’m looking forward to using my watercolours within my mindfulness practice. Thanks Ellena

Was such a beautiful class that was well executed. We learned so much and are excited to continue our journey with watercolour painting. Highly recommend this class for individuals and for team building

The class provided excellent materials to work with and allowed freedom of movement and creativity in the room.

The teacher helped all students in need and provided snacks though we were more focused on painting. We were able to draw instead of paint though painting was the most frequently used, so I was able to do line work on my finished painting. I loved the workshop and it was definitely worth while/money/distance. My review photo is of the artwork I completed. Thankyou + more
Nicole Gustafson
What an amazing experience! The teacher is calming, knowledgeable, and applies a good balance of structure and free flow to the class. She was wonderful to work with and very inspiring! High quality materials and left with not only a painting that I’m proud of, but insights and meaning behind parts of my life that hadn’t been explored in depth before.
