Fun Watercolour Painting classes / courses in Sydney

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. ClassBento has found some of the best watercolour painting classes in Sydney so that you can get started today.

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.

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. 

Health benefits of watercolour

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!

Venue easy to find, great set up, lovely fun teacher, great explanations and demonstrations. Gorgeous floral watercolour workshop, just felt we perhaps didn’t have enough time despite using a stencil! That’s probably more me than anything else

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

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.

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!

We had the class with the lovely teacher. She taught us different techniques on how to watercolour and also provided templates for us and watercolour paint to bring home as well. Lovely experience and will definitely be going to another class with her as she was great.
