Paint and Sip Class

You can’t go past this experience Sign up! Upon arriving at the studio we were welcomed by the lovely Kylie, Zia, the gorgeous studio pup and blown away by the spectacular Bayview water view. As we settled in with our bubbles, we started discussing with Kylie the construct of the painting and the next 3 hours just flowed. The music in the studio never stopped nor did the chatter, laughter and + more

Paint and Sing-along Class for Kids (7-13 Years)

Kylie was an amazing addition to my daughter’s 8th birthday party. She went above and beyond all my expectations. She ran a class for 12 children ranging in ages from 5-12 with complete ease. She's organised, helpful, punctual and obviously loves what she does. I highly recommend her 10/10!

Paint and Sip Class

The class was in an amazing venue. There was enough space, but it still felt cosy. There were lots of choices on what we could paint, and we were supplied with everything we needed. The class was incredibly good value for money.

Floral Watercolour Workshop

The watercolour class run by Parika was fantastic. We learnt about brush techniques, the colour wheel and had a go at our own artwork piece which under the kind and patient guidance of Parika turned out really great. The class came with brushes and paper and paint to use on the day. We got to take the brushes home and I’ve been using them regularly for the past few months. The venue was filled + more

Paint and Sip Class

We had a beautiful Mother’s Day session spent painting in Kylie’s beautiful, vibrant and welcoming seaside studio. Kylie is a truly wonderful and gentle teacher with a passion for teaching and creating. All the mum’s and grandma’s went home being awed and inspired by their creations. I cannot recommend this class highly enough and cannot wait to go back!

Watercolour Class: Roses and Leaves

Ella is amazing. This is my second class with her! The setting is beautiful and relaxing, she is so organised with her lessons, so many beautiful extras that we can take home and keep forever. I look forward to being part of all her classes! She is just the best, and cafe zero.6 is such a beautiful location with delish food and coffee!

Abstract Painting, Half Day Class

Had a fun and relaxing time at Yvette's class this morning. We were encouraged to freely explore the techniques demonstrated and the materials provided. The short guided medication at the beginning of the class was a great way to leave what's on your mind and focus on creating something from scratch. Will definitely come again.

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.

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 practised 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.
