Adult Classes, Workshops & Paint Parties
Art has so many benefits for people of all ages, and it is especially wonderful for our mental and emotional well-being. Engaging in creative activities, regardless of our skill levels, allows us to relax and take some, often much needed, timeout for ourselves.
You do not need to create a ‘wall-worthy masterpiece’ each time to reap the benefits of some creative time. Have you ever seen anyone frame the crossword puzzle that they have just completed? I haven’t, but I know they enjoyed the activity and gain well-being benefits. We don’t need to create amazing art every time. We can engage in it just purely to maintain a good balance in our lives.
Come along to one of my classes and spend some time with friendly others - I’ve never come across anyone who has signed up for an art class that is a miserable person that no one wants to be around. So, come along, meet some new people, or bring a friend with you. In all of my art classes, workshops and paint parties, I will guide you step-by-step through each activity that you do. The aim of my various classes is that you will relax, have fun and learn some art skills along the way.
Please read below for the various Classes, Workshops and Paint Parties that I have on offer, and please contact me if you would like to know more, or to book in.
Stay up-to-date with the happenings at Classes and Paint Parties on my Facebook and Instagram (see links below).
Adult Beginner’s Art Classes
Would you like to learn the basics of drawing and painting? In this block of classes, you will be introduced to the basics of drawing and be guided through some introductory activities using drawing pencils and colour pencils. From drawing you will move on to an introduction to working with acrylic paints, including some basic colour theory and mixing paints, and from there you will work on creating your own painting on a canvas that you can take home and hang proudly.

Relaxed Adult Art Classes
Come along and paint in a relaxed environment, meet some new people, or bring a friend with you, and timeout for your own well-being. No painting, or art, experience is needed. You will be guided step-by-step and learn new art skills along the way.

Painting Workshops / Paint Parties
Paint Parties are all about ‘fun painting’. We are not attempting to create fine art filled with precision. Your canvas will come pre-drawn for you, making these sessions perfect for absolute beginners, as well as for the more experienced. You will be guided step-by-step to create a beautiful painting in 2 1/2 hours.
Your finished canvas will be 30cm x 40cm, and you will be provided with a little kit of hanging hardware and easy to follow instructions, so you can proudly hang your painting in your home, or gift it to someone special.
Each class is 2 1/2 hours and they are run from my home studio in Cashmere, Queensland.
Each Paint Party costs $55 per person.
