What you'll do

On the search for relaxing indoor activities? This abstract painting class will provide the opportunity to flow with natural energy and create some abstract works.

Firstly be guided and learn various painting techniques and the use of certain tools to help you on your way - washes, layers, brushes, palette knives, feathering, stippling, stamping...and more!

From here the techniques can be used to create your own abstract painting. Follow along with Yvette's example then paint your final piece!

No previous experience is required. If you are experienced this will be a great addition to your skillset. This is a wonderful class to learn a foundation of tools and techniques that can be incorporated later in your creative path in not only abstract painting but also figurative, still life, and landscape painting. A great foundation to launch from! This is a relaxed and fun class. Simply enjoy the beauty and joy of painting.

Art materials and tools, tea and coffee are included.

Private art bookings at your venue are welcome. If you have the space, then this is ideal for larger bookings of 15+ people. Send a request through for what you are planning. If booking at a venue of my choice, this will either be at Camperdown or another nearby space depending on availability. This can be confirmed upon your class booking confirmation.

FAQ

I've never taken an art class before but would really like to explore abstract painting. During your classes is there opportunity to paint on large canvas? or will they mostly be smaller pieces of work or on paper?

Sam

The class caters for people who have not painted at all as well as people who have. I find that most students have not painted before. They enjoy the class and all can paint. I take you through the use of the tools and different techniques and then we have opportunities to create our own art. Everyone has fun and there’s no pressure. I think you will enjoy it a lot.

The half day class always seems to go so quickly so we paint on paper only. The day classes I hold we end up painting on a canvas in the afternoon. But if you would like to paint on a canvas for your last work in the half day class then you are more than welcome to pay an extra $10 on the day and I’ll have a canvas there for you. Or if you wish to bring your own canvas that’s an option too.
