Have you ever had an idea for a painting but were too afraid to start, or an empty space at home waiting for an artwork inspired by what you love? This class is for you! It is perfect whether you book on your own to tackle a project you’ve always dreamed of, or join together with friends.
I am a professional painter and sculptor with a degree in fine arts. In this class, regardless of your background in painting, you will receive one-on-one lessons that will take you from absolute beginner to creating detailed oil paintings. You’ll learn how to mix colours, build layers, and create expressive brushwork while painting your own finished artwork to take home.
This relaxed course is designed for beginners, so you don’t need previous experience. Using quality oil paints, brushes, canvas, and mediums, you’ll explore how to create light, texture, and depth. The step-by-step guidance makes it easy to understand how to paint, with plenty of encouragement.
You may arrive feeling unsure, but you’ll soon feel focused, inspired, and proud of what you can achieve. By the end, you’ll have a unique painting to display at home, a meaningful reminder of your creativity and progress.
Classes are typically held indoors, but on beautiful days, we may paint outdoors in the fresh air, depending on the weather.
What you'll get
  • A completed artwork to take home and display in your house.
  • A standard 16" x 20" canvas provided (if you wish to paint on a larger canvas, please select the Large Canvas add-on).
  • Quality oil paints and all required studio materials for use during class.
  • An apron to protect your clothes.
  • A typed materials list (should you wish to purchase your own supplies and practise at home between sessions).

Hi, my name is Ellie. I'm a painter and sculptor based in Sydney, formally trained at the prestigious Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in the U.S.—an institution known for cultivating masters in classical and contemporary art. My foundation in realistic painting and sculpture has shaped my skills and led to exhibitions in both the United States and Australia.
I’ve been creating art for over 15 years. To me, painting is a way to celebrate life—a path to reconnect with our most authentic selves in a fast-paced world. True art goes beyond technique; it’s about vision, presence, and the joy of sharing the process.
My classes offer more than instruction—they’re refined, immersive experiences designed to help you slow down, connect with beauty, and unlock your creative confidence. Whether you're a complete beginner or a practicing artist, I meet you where you are. I’ve worked with students across all levels, always blending high-level techniques with warmth and encouragement.
Each class is a creative sanctuary. I love incorporating natural elements into the setup to help students relax and feel grounded. You’ll leave with art you're proud of, a deeper connection to your creativity, and maybe even a few new friends.
I look forward to welcoming you into my studio.
