very good class with nice view. I had so much fun. The teacher is so sweet. Worth trying!
Gemma Westlake • Mar 2021
Parika was a beautiful teacher - so quiet & kind & patient & encouraging. She took us through the colour wheel, how to mix colours, different brush techniques, how to paint different types of flowers I learnt so much & was pleasantly surprised at how my final painting turned out!

I'm excited to continue practicing The Yamogu studio was so cute too. It has a huge arch window at the front to let in lots of natural light, & the host provided a delicious afternoon tea of little cakes, cheese & biscuits, & tea! I would love to do another class there. + more
Ruby West • Mar 2021
Parika was a very patient and a very thorough teacher. Making sure we understand the different techniques. Helping us with our compositions. Thoroughly enjoyed the class. The studio is also fantastic. Overall, a wonderful experience for me.
Jenny Lao • Jan 2021
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!

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

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.

Cassandra Cliff • Jul 2020
We really enjoyed the sip and paint class. The teacher Heather was great, she gave good advice and helped when we needed, but let us do our own thing which we really liked. We'll definitely go back again :)
Joanna Mohammadi • Mar 2020
Heather is a beautiful kind soul! She was so encouraging and provided some amazing tips Highly recommended if you want a genuinely passionate teacher
Madison McAlpine • Feb 2020
A refreshing change for a Sip and Paint. We were actually given the option to paint whatever we liked! Heather's a very talented artist yet lets you find your own style. She had a lovely cheeseboard out and there was great conversation and music. Located in such a cute area of Balmain, tons of restaurants and pubs around for a dinner or drink before or after the class. Will definitely be returning.A refreshing change for a Sip and Paint.

Abstract Painting, Half Day Class
Lovely, calm and peaceful teacher Delightful work space with creative ideas around. Thoroughly enjoyed the class.
Amy Schmitz • Jan 2020
Fun environment, great step by step technique tutorial and surprising final artwork! Loved every minute!
Lydia San • Jan 2020
Great class taught in a cute open space! Blair is very talented! I liked how she split the class into different sections to help learn new skills then go on to put it into practice. I learnt some new skills and it was great to chat with her directly about all things watercolour from technique to equipment.
Julie Andrews • Jan 2020
My daughter Lucy and I attended the Dessert and water colour class with Blair. We learnt so much in a 2.5hour lesson, Blair was very patient and explained each step clearly we would recommend this class to all ages and ability. Fun Afternoon!
Jo Goh • Jan 2020
Blair is a wonderful funny teacher and entertaining. She is great at explaining techniques and demonstrating. I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop :-))) I’m a big fan of her work and so glad I got to meet her
Irene Lay • Apr 2019
It was an exciting day, Blair make us feel like a real artist. It’s a relaxing place and just so casual. We didn’t want to leave.
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.
