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.

You will walk away with new skills and a fun afternoon. + more

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!
Amy Fracarossi
Fun and relaxed. Gave demonstrations but then plenty of time to play and make mistakes (and work them into your art)
Gemma Westlake

Parika was a very patient and a very thorough teacher. Making sure we understand the different techniques. Helping us with our compositions. Thoroughly enjoyed the class. The studio is also fantastic. Overall, a wonderful experience for me.
Fern Shaw
What was the teacher like? Sally is so lovely, she explained and demonstrated the techniques so well and loved how she explained the therapeutic benefits of painting and how it affects the different parts of the brain How was the venue? So easy to get to, a short walk from redfern station. Nice venue, a bit chilly in winter so bring something warm to wear. There was also a tea and coffee station butWhat was the teacher like?

So easy to get to, a short walk from redfern station. Nice venue, a bit chilly in winter so bring something warm to wear. There was also a tea and coffee station but there wasn't any milk so I had a herbal tea instead. Should have grabbed a coffee from the cafe near the station on my way in! If materials were provided, did you like them? The quality of the materials provided were amazing. Was the class good value for money? Yes, absolutely What did you do / learn? We learnt how to sketch a still life object, then how to turn the sketch into a template you can paint over with watercolour, lots of different water colour techniques and got to paint some scenes. Loved that we didn't have to stop at 1pm on the dot and could stay and carry on painting. + more
Laura Bee
Watercolour Class: Boba and Brush
Blair was friendly & helpful with teaching us basic watercolour techniques - the activity was really approachable and accessible. We had a separate section of the store to ourselves. Milk tea and cheesecake were provided. We also got to make the milk tea ourselves! All the materials were provided for us. It was a lot of fun, would recommend
Amy Schmitz
Watercolour Class with Dessert
Fun environment, great step by step technique tutorial and surprising final artwork! Loved every minute!
Lydia San
Watercolour Class with Dessert
Great class taught in a cute open space! Blair is very talented! I liked how she split the class into different sections to help learn new skills then go on to put it into practice. I learnt some new skills and it was great to chat with her directly about all things watercolour from technique to equipment.

Watercolour Class with Dessert
My daughter Lucy and I attended the Dessert and water colour class with Blair. We learnt so much in a 2.5hour lesson, Blair was very patient and explained each step clearly we would recommend this class to all ages and ability. Fun Afternoon!

Fun Watercolour Painting classes / courses in Sydney
Watercolour painting for beginners
Many people enter the painting world through acrylic paints, which can make watercolour painting seem more difficult and unforgiving. But in reality, watercolour painting is flexible and fun. When you learn the basics of how to use your watercolour set, you’ll be hooked on exploring new techniques and subjects. All you need is the guidance of the best watercolour painting instructors in Sydney to build your confidence and set your creativity free. Paint gorgeous floral art with Heather Hunt in Balmain or Parika Mahajan in Westmead! Or if you are after something a little different, enjoy eating and painting delicious desserts with Blair Zhang.
Watercolour painting covers a wide range of styles and subjects, which means that you have plenty of watercolour classes to try. Watercolour painting for beginners classes are a great way to get started, but you won’t want to stop there. Once you’ve learned the fundamentals, there are classes to learn watercolour landscape or watercolour portrait, in which you’ll explore proportions and perspective. Try out using the different textures and form you can create with the medium. You will be given expert tips and ideas on how best to use watercolour and learn watercolour techniques to create your very own artwork that you can take home. You'll walk away with some truly impressive new skills and knowledge. You can even take painting classes that allow you to build your watercolour painting skills with a glass of wine in hand, making these some of the most fun art classes for adults in Sydney.
What to expect at Sydney watercolour painting classes
No matter your skill level or art class experience, watercolour painting is open to everyone. If you’re looking for Sydney workshops for an upcoming birthday party or on the hunt for classy hens party ideas, painting classes are a great way to encourage creativity and relaxation. Watercolour art classes are also fun corporate team building activities if you’re looking to add new things to corporate wellness programs. And if you’re looking for some quality family time or sibling fun, watercolour painting is a must do in Sydney.
Watercolour painting classes are designed for everyone to be involved and engaged. Your talented watercolour teacher will talk you through specific techniques and tips so that you have a clear direction when you try on your own. For beginners, watercolour classes often start with learning the basics (for instance how to draw objects based on their distance and angle to you), then they move to sketching before with a pencil before moving to actually painting in watercolour. Take time to disconnect and focus on learning and creating your own beautiful artwork.
You might even like to try watercolour calligraphy or a watercolour wreath. Let your imagination run free and let your creative soul take over! And with the useful advice and feedback you get from your instructor and fellow art class participants, you’ll be inspired to keep practicing long after the class is over.
Watercolours are great for your wellbeing
Watercolour painting is one of the best things you can do for your mental health. Mixing colours, playing around with new techniques and brush strokes, and marvelling at your progress are all ways that watercolour will add vibrancy and tranquillity to your everyday life. If you’re looking for a fun hobby to add to your self-care routine, watercolour painting is the one!
