Paint and Sip Class: Three-dimensional Art

Excellent value for money! Class was really great and Jasmine was a fantastic teacher. We had a fantastic time, couldn't recommend enough. Highly worth it

Brianna Dobing • Sep 2021

Our teacher Jasmine was fantastic! She first messaged me with really clear instructions of how to find the art studio which was extremely helpful. She was friendly and engaging, and had great instruction. I would definitely do this experience again.

Clare Bryce • Sep 2021

Teacher was lovely, class was well run and food at the associated restaurant was fantastic.

Jason Murday • Sep 2021

Excellent Teachers and great assistance with the paint process. Great atmosphere and everyone was having a great time. I will definitely recommend it to anyone to try the painting and sip. One more thing the more you sip the better is the painting! That’s me personally! Xx Love from Jason and Bec

Norelle Thomas • Sep 2021

Teacher was very friendly and the venue was lovely. Had a great time but wasn’t a fan of our subject … a sheep. Thought I would be something a little easier and a topic/subject that we would display. Flower, landscape

Harmony Sanderson • Sep 2021

This was a great class - my friend and I had a fun time. Would recommend.

Caroline Jones • Sep 2021

Absolutely loved it - fantastic night. Jessica was welcoming and warm and we had so much sun

Hannah was lovely but a little hard to hear over the venue music. It was a lovely venue though. Overall it was a great fun painting experience.

Saseema Nugapitiya • Jul 2021

The teacher was very helpful and demonstrated each stage of the process. The only feedback I'd say is it would be nice to get some more feedback on how to improve our pieces individually. But I understand that its a group class so that's hard to do

Ash Garcia • Jul 2021

It was a fun activity and nice venue. I just couldn’t hear the instructor very well. It would have been harder for people at the back too.

Rebecca Nielsen • Jul 2021

Class was wonderful, nice quiet location and nice environment thank you for the learning experience

Meg Caldwell-Cook • Jun 2021

The evening was exactly as I had hoped, the teacher was amazing. Wesley was very patient and supportive every step. Our end products were as described and very impressive considering we had no idea what we were doing. Have experienced the paint and sip before and this was a great alternative, highly recommend regards Meg

Prasanthi Yarlagadda • Jun 2021

It was good fun ,teacher was nice! The venue is outdoors and would have be more enjoyable if it was indoors in this cold weather

Luda Kovalev • Jun 2021

Jasmine was very helpful, friendly and social. We enjoyed our experience very much. Would love to do it again.

Amy Bambury • May 2021

Good fun night! Music was great, teacher was lovely and helpful. Abit hard to see the orginial painting from the tables as it was small. Need a larger reference painting

Catherine Lewis • May 2021

Teacher was very good however was hard to see her demonstrations on her canvas. A few drunk ladies made it a little uncomfortable to hear the instructor but overall our little group had fun.

Cassandra Ross • May 2021

Fun class, very helpful teachers. Great afternoon. Would have been nicer to have a more private place

Kirsty Keay • May 2021

Paint and Sip Class - Thursday Student Night

Our teacher and assistant were incredibly helpful. They helped make the session a Really great experience. The materials were of great quality and plentiful. Gumdale tavern was a perfect venue and catered to all our needs. We even stayed for dinner.

Asa Sullivan • May 2021

Fun, simple class with easy to follow instructions on our whale painting. The restaurant took well care of us with drinks, food and service, and we had plenty of supplies from our teacher.

Ryu Nose • May 2021

Paint and Sip Class - Thursday Student Night

Great fun, we had a ball. Wesley made it fun and very clear. Definitely recommend this activity!

Michelle Lafferty • Apr 2021

Our teacher Ace was lovely. We had a great night loads of fun we will be back

Olga Gil • Apr 2021

Staff very nice and we have a good time. It is true that the class started a bit late and went so fast, we could not finish on time in only 1,5 hour. And for our opinion, too many people, we were so close to each other (not 1,5 meter recommended for Covid)

Debra Morehu • Apr 2021

The teacher is orsumm the class was too big for a small venue,squishy squashy next to each other, more tables should have been set up but in saying that is was part of the restaurantnever mind next time

Caroline D'Netto • Apr 2021

Ace was great! She explained things carefully and was happy to come around and help us more if needed. The venue was great! Very friendly staff, we were never left wait for anything and drinks were excellent. We all had lots of fun and had a great evening.

Michelle K • Apr 2021

Nice big venue with small numbers. Enjoyed the class! Thank you for the teacher for the guidance

Barb • Apr 2021

Had an amazing time and the teacher was fantastic and very patient. We loved the friendly atmosphere and had so much fun!

Elsie Paetai • Apr 2021

My group thoroughly enjoyed this class, something we have not considered doing previously but so glad we took time out to do something different on a Friday night. Our teacher was patient with us and took the time to explain the technique and instructions as none of us are drawers or painters. The venue was relaxing and welcoming. We were offered cooled water, glasses for our BYO drinks. I highly recommend + more

Kristy-Ann Pratsch • Apr 2021

Great class, lots of good tips and sips between colour changes! Highly recommend! Book Now

Brodie Roberts • Mar 2021

Wesley did an awesome job of accommodating our group with short notice. We all had a fantastic time followed by dinner afterwards at the venue. Would definitely recommend to anyone else considering a paint and sip night!

Tracey Bell • Mar 2021

We had a great time learning to paint. The venue was good and our teacher was really good at explaining everything to us. Would definitely recommend doing it as it was a lot of fun.

Sandra Buchanan • Mar 2021

The class was good fun. Venue was outside and a nice location. Materials were supplied. Teacher was helpful as it was the first time doing a painting class.

Sharon Cho • Mar 2021

The teachers were great and we really enjoyed this claaa. We will def going back soon ☺

Sallyanne Peters • Mar 2021

Fun afternoon. Great idea an Art Class and wine. The two teachers were very helpful. I got to go home with my painting. I sent photos to my friends, they said it looked great.

Tania Ferguson • Mar 2021

Was a great avo out. Lots of laughs and teacher is very helpful accomodating. Will be back

Helen Miller • Mar 2021

The class was fun and good value for money. The art supplies were fine but some of the group found some of the brushes did not create the effect they were after. The teacher provided good instructions for the group to follow. Would recommend

Allison Doherty • Mar 2021

The class was a lovely way to celebrate my birthday. It was easy to follow along with and honestly have and will recommend it to everybody. My one comment would be that myself and my boyfriend did not appreciate that one of the teachers commented on his painting saying “is that supposed to be a turtle?”. But besides from that we enjoyed spending the night doing something new!

Marianne Schubert • Feb 2021

Paint and Sip Class - Thursday Student Night

The teacher was lovely and helpful. The venue really screwed up her presentation by making the whole group move. She was calm and helped us transition into a much noisier location than she had been given. Her attitude to this disruption helped participants take it with good humour.

Noni Creasey • Feb 2021

The venue was spacious and well lit and comfortable, and we had a lot of fun! It was difficult to see/hear the teacher in such a big group, so we had to get a lot of help from the support staff which took a while. Hence, we felt rushed towards the end, right when the painting got challenging! A smaller class or an earlier start would've been better.

Jennifer Calvert • Feb 2021

Had a lot of fun easy directions to follow even though I cant paint, would definitely do it again.

Emilie McPhee • Feb 2021

Bec Hollett • Feb 2021

Had an absolutely blast! The teaches were amazing, and so was the company. Loved the pub vibes ☺️

Jayde Maher • Feb 2021

We had a great time. Easy steps to follow and there was assistance when you needed it. We went on the cheap Tuesday. Definitely worth it if your looking for a fun night out.

Robyn Fuller • Jan 2021

Had a awesome time soo much fun doing the painting and Diane was a great teacher Definitely no shortage of paint Diane was always there to squeeze more on your plate Will definitely be returning for another fun filled arvo of painting and entertaining . Waterloo Hotel was a great place also

Great venue, fun painting theme. Well paced. Good group size and mix of people. Thanks

Cilla Wills • Oct 2020

Teacher was very helpful and the 4 of us had a ball. A really fun night, everything provided and such great value for the amount of entertainment we had. Will definitely go again. I do wish they could run another night earlier in the week though when it’s not so busy at the hotel, otherwise it’s an excellent venue and we all had a meal first.

Jessica Wan • Oct 2020

It was a fun night! The instructor is very good at explaining the detail steps.

Absolutely loved the class - we attended as part of my hen celebrations and we had an absolute blast! Looking forwards to the next one. :)

Linden Karaconstantis • Oct 2020

Class was well organised, venue was a little noise as there was a night club next door. The teacher was good, however, it did feel like he wanted us to replicate his painting and not express our own interpretation.

Yu Lo • Oct 2020

We LOVE attending Wesley’s paint n brush courses! He’s such an talented, patient, experienced and fantastic instructor! We’ve had a great time learning with him also his lovely assistant!

Melissa Roberts • Sep 2020

Really welcoming environment, good access to more materials if needed, well paced to get the painting done in the allocated time

Donna Hallam • Sep 2020

Class was great except for some loud giggling for some who didn’t take the class serious . And yes we would do it again DONNA and KYLEY

Peter Sheehan • Sep 2020

Wesley and his assistant were very good tutors. Whilst I am very new to painting, the instruction and set up was tremendous. The value for money and fun from the class will have me returning. Thank you Wesley.

Fantastic and professional instructors! Definitely will come back again! Great environment and bar staff too!

Paul Dobbyn • Aug 2020

This was a really fun activity. Venue was noisy and numbers were large but teachers did their best to guide our hands towards masterpieces. Judging by lots of laughter (at times joined in on my own making steady brush strokes hard) many other folk were having a great time too. Would definitely recommend the activity and go again myself.

Good set up, the teacher was very helpful with explaining how to comlete the painting. I did better this time.

Nicole Kilpatrick • Aug 2020

The teachers were lovely. The venue at The Waterloo was perfect as we got to have dinner and drinks beforehand and walk straight into the class. As far as value for money I was very satisfied as we paid $25 for our tickets and think that is great value . The $45 original price I feel would be great value for money if it included drinks and nibbles . If I had to pay full price I don’t think I would go again. But at $25 I will be a repeat customer along with all my friends. If you are looking for a great night out I would recommend highly.

Matthew Martin • Aug 2020

We booked the Australian landscapes session and the booking said it started at 7:00. When we go there it was a portrait session and they were 30 mins in. Then the attendant made the whole thing weird and it was horrible.

Awesome session in the evening from Wesley Taylor studios. Teacher will teach you right from ground up. In between the session, many tips are shared. You will never run out of colors or assistance as someone will be always around to check on you. Even though its a group class you get personal attention. Moreover the session is full of fun, laughs and enjoyment. The best feeling you get at the end + more

Laura Oliver • Mar 2020

We had a group of girls celebrating a Hens weekend. The class is a great idea for a group of friends. You each get a drink on arrival. Wes was an fantastic teacher, very helpful and funny. Would definitely recommend this class, even if you cant paint! Because none of our group were very confident at the start! But they all turnes out amazing!

Heidi Coleman • Jan 2020

Teacher was great and it was a very fun night. The only downside was the full room was really hot and being part of the mantra apparently they couldn’t turn down the air con. Apart from that it was a really good class and great fun!

Great fun class . Venue was great too Looking forward to more classes in particular the new idea of different paintings being hung together

Madonna Brady • Dec 2019

Wesley was so friendly and welcoming, the venue was fantastic very central to Southbank and everything on offer. The class was casual and fun and wesley gave great tips on how to create a lovely art piece. A special Sunday afternoon activity, we painted a palm tree very cool.

Patricia Cochrane • Dec 2019

Lovely atmosphere and easy to follow instructions. Wonderful night and I got to take home a wonderful painting!

Ilana Rosalky • Dec 2019

Our team booked a paint and sip class with Wesley for our end of year party and had such a great time. Wesley was very funny and a fantastic teacher and, surprisingly, I walked out with a pretty decent painting! We were very happy with the whole experience and I would definitely book Wesley again.

Debbie Riley • Sep 2019

A relaxing, friendly evening learning the skills of painting. It was incredible value for money with a bonus spectacular view of the city night scape.

Leisha Ward • Aug 2019

Photography class

What a fantastic experience. Wes was an excellent guide and teacher. He had a very relaxed style and was easy to understand. During the class we explored many hidden gems of Southbank, and learnt how to compose them into some terrific pictures. Would recommend to both locals and visitors. Thanks for a lovely afternoon

Rusha Joshi • Jul 2019

It was a fun, relaxed class that I very much enjoyed. All my friends who I invited had a fantastic time.

Shenley Chan • Apr 2019

My friend and I really enjoyed the Paint and Sip class. The theme was painting a sea turtle in the ocean. The teacher was very approachable and supportive. We had enough materials to paint a beautiful picture. The class was held in Mantra hotel. The environment had a nice ambience to paint in. The class was worth going to and it was a nice night out for a calming art therapy session. I would be interested + more

Jade Chow • Apr 2019

Jess was really nice and helpful, she assisted us in every way at all time that no one was left out and we all enjoyed. Her instructions were very clear that made every step easy to us. At the end I couldn't believe what I had achieved for an absolute beginner! It's beyond my expectations.
