Looking for a fun and relaxed way to try acrylic painting, without any pressure or prior experience? This two-hour taster class in Perth is the perfect creative escape.
You’ll get a friendly introduction to acrylic paints, tools, and basic techniques, then follow step-by-step guidance to complete your own simple still life painting, choosing from objects in Sophie’s studio (usually fruit, flowers, vases, pots, etc).
Whether you’re picking up a paintbrush for the first time or just want to reconnect with your creativity, this session is all about play, colour, and expression.
No experience needed — just bring yourself and a willingness to have fun!
In this class, you’ll:
  • Learn about acrylic materials and how to use them.
  • Try out a few core painting techniques.
  • Complete a small still life painting with guidance.
  • Enjoy a mindful, creative break from the everyday.
  • Leave inspired to keep painting!
What you'll get
  • Full use of all the art materials, an art apron, gloves (optional), and a small canvas to create your masterpiece on.
  • Plenty of help and support as and when it’s needed.
  • Tea, coffee and water as required.
Knowledge required
Absolutely no experience of any kind artistically is needed, just the willingness to give it a good go.
What to bring
We would suggest wearing clothes you don’t mind getting any spills on (acrylics won’t come off…), although we do have aprons.
Your enthusiasm.
Suitable for

Hi I’m Sophie, qualified and experienced art teacher, life & business coach and professional artist; working from my studio in Perth. I’ve always had a passion for all art and ended up building my career (first in the UK) as a semi abstract painter known for ‘Sea, Boat and Harbour’ themed paintings.
After a long break and now living in Western Australia I’ve finally found my heart again with semi-abstract ‘Florals and Still Lives’.
For my own work I specialise in acrylics predominantly, and love to play with mixed media and collage in my sketchbooks - who knows this may well end up part of my original work too.
I’ve always loved teaching and sharing my knowledge with others, both adults and children. I taught art in the Brighton Steiner School in the UK for 7 years and after that adult classes just followed.
Whether you are a complete beginner never having touched art materials or you’ve dabbled a bit and want to know more - I can’t wait to support you in making art.
