People often think that painting is best left to artists – it’s something that the majority of us stop doing when we 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.

What to expect at Sydney painting classes

These painting classes are perfect for beginners or more experienced painters. Best of all, these experienced and friendly art teachers offer private tutorial classes or group painting sessions. 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 local teachers take you through essential skills and painting techniques with a series of different painting exercises. Depending 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. A lot of these Sydney workshops encourage you to BYO wine and snacks too, so you can get creative in a social atmosphere.

Painting is great for your wellbeing

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!
