An 8-week beginner’s painting course designed to build a strong artistic foundation while gently nurturing your creativity.
This course will be held at the Motor Yacht Club with stunning wrap around harbour views and the Tasman Bridge in the distance for extra inspiration!
You’ll begin by learning to draw what you see and then build on this with confidence as you explore the art of painting with acrylics. We'll be focusing on landscapes as they are somewhat forgiving when getting started.
This course is your gateway to something much bigger! I offer weekly casual classes, advanced workshops and exhibitions exclusively for alumni. You'll become part of a supportive and encouraging community of well connected budding artists! 💛
No experience needed, just bring your curiosity and an open heart.
