5 Painting Kits for Adults to Try in Australia Lockdown in 2021

Breathe new life into your lockdown routine with painting kits for adults! Being stuck at home during the Australia lockdown in 2021 is challenging for everyone, and joining online paint and sip classes offer a fun and creative escape from it all.

Imagine yourself settling into your most comfortable chair with some nibbles in front of you and a glass of wine in one hand and a paintbrush in the other. You can switch off your brain and be taken away to a tranquil garden of blossoming flowers, a misty water-side scene, or a sun-drenched skyscape. And at the end of it, you'll have a piece of art to hang on your wall and enjoy for years to come!

All of our paint and sip classes are taught by local experts who are passionate about art and love sharing their knowledge and creativity with students of all skill levels, so you can be sure that you'll have a relaxing and fun time. Our painting kits for adults are designed to make things as easy as possible for first-time painters, with everything provided, including brushes, paint, paint palette, and more.

Did you know that painting can help lift your spirits? There is a whole lot of science behind adding painting to your list of things to do during lockdown, and it all boils down to this: painting helps you relax. It is a form of meditation, offering you the opportunity to clear your head of daily stressors and become fully immersed in the moment. And the best part of it is that you don't need to know how to paint a masterpiece, because there are no mistakes when you learn how to paint. Just let go and embrace the creative process.

With that said, these five painting kits for adults are a great way to get started!
