Sip and Paint Art Workshops — Melbourne Art Classes

SIP AND PAINT ART WORKSHOPS MELBOURNE

Known globally as SipandPaint Art Workshops or sessions OR paint and sip, we also call them CASUAL ART WORKSHOPS, and have been running them for years before the sipandpaint craze was a thing!! At Melbourne Art Classes, you might sip (whatever you prefer) and you will definitely paint, but the workshop format is most distinct from the typical #sipandpaint type sessions that have popped up globally. The themes of our workshops are very well planned, sophisticated and yet designed to be attainable by all levels in small, well-facilitated and relaxed group sessions.

Visit the bookings page to see what themes have been scheduled and coming up soon.

The gift of creativity

Gift certificates can be sent out when you decide to give a friend the experience of a casual art workshop or a regular term group.
Ocean painting themes

There is nothing quite as relaxing (to look at) as a painting of the ocean. We often schedule different ones casually throughout the year.
Occasionally we schedule a casual drawing intensive, sometimes general, sometimes specifically for figures

Description goes here
Discover mixed media layering

Everybody is always amazed at their own results when given a multitude of mixed media tools to utilize and a cool theme with a drawing to transfer (those who can draw do their own) and a harmonious colour scheme.
Tributes inspired by modern masters

Learning by adopting the style of a master in your own tribute artwork is not just about getting a popular piece for your wall. You actually learn new skills and think about subjects in a new way.
Gettin sticky with it

Collage is a sticky business, using gel medium to apply all manner of collected or hand-created paper bits to incorporate into a mixed media project
Tackle a deep space project

Getting a nebula to glow is just the beginning in a painting project like this. You will discover many tips and tricks with materials and techniques for acrylics on canvas.
Impressionism never gets old

Boats and water,waterlilies and other subjects of the French Impressionists are used as inspiration with luscious daubs of thick medium to get the classic look and feel
Paint a large abstract

This (once-a-year) special full-day workshop is for those who want a big artwork for their wall, cannot afford the ones they like and would like to be guided over a full day in creating their own abstract artwork.

Casual Art Workshop Bookings

Clever designs and techniques are shared with you so you can enjoy creating a super special painting at our studios. You can even book one for your own home(s)/workplaces or by Zoom video facilitation.

The MELBOURNE ART CLASSES’ point of difference is the sophisticated themes and the diverse mixed media techniques you learn while enjoying some creative company and your choice of beverage/snacks.

NB. IF YOU ARE WANTING TO MAXIMISE LEARNING IN A CASUAL SETTING, LOOK FOR THE FOUNDATION MODULE WORKSHOPS, WHERE WE SCHEDULE A LONGER WORKSHOP, FOCUSING ON ONE FOUNDATION ART SUBJECT WITH A PAINTING PROJECT TO EXEMPLIFY THE INCORPORATION OF THIS LEARNING MODULE IN PLANNING A PAINTING.

☞ Sessions average 3 hrs TO 6 hrs

☞ phone 0409432643 or email to enquire more about available themes for you to paint in your own home with a live Zoom artist facilitator.
