In The Studio - Beginners

Beginners

Many of these students haven't picked up a paint brush since their school days, and have taken themselves by surprise.

You don't have to be artistic, just enthusiastic and willing to learn.

The students paint an image of their own choice, looking through a window or a stone niche.

The niche is supplied at the class at a cost of $20. You will learn perspective without pain!

Also how to mix paint and many different painting techniques, such as stenciling, marbling, sandstone finishes and many more.

In The Studio - Advanced

Advanced

Students paint on much larger areas approx 2 x 3 metres.

It is best to wear comfortable clothes and old runners, as there is a lot of work on ladders.
