I NEED A PAINTING KIT, WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?

There is a section devoted to recommended materials, for both drawing and/or painting in different mediums, we can provide materials for a first term ($60) for those who are unsure & want to decide as they go along.

IF I MISS A SESSION, CAN I MAKE IT UP?

Casual bookings for private or groups can be cancelled or re-scheduled (with notice), policy is found on Casual Workshops page.

Regular groups pay a lower rate for a term, missed sessions are not re-run, however, online materials are available for more work at home and sometimes if an alternative group is not full, a student may be able to drop in. In the case of a 9 week booked term, the option is there to select 9 weeks or select 10 and drop into a Saturday group for the extra time.

If I am feeling unwell, what SHOULD I do?

All students and artists appreciate your avoidance of spreading any virus at the studios.
we offer some alternatives so you can ‘soldier on’ at home.
* Request some Projects and/or Modules from the online studio to undertake yourself at home

* Since lockdowns, we have a Zoom system in place, so unwell, distant or traveling students can request a Zoom attendance.

All you need is the Zoom app downloaded onto your device and a login will be provided NB. Zoom is only activated and on if you phone and request it in advance.

* If there is potential space, a drop-in to an alternative group session can possibly be arranged in the same term

* A credit to use towards a casual art workshop is also an option if neither of the first two are possible.

WHAT DOES A TYPICAL ADULT ART CLASS LOOK LIKE?

Each regular group is made up of individuals from diverse backgrounds, with varying levels of prior experience, from beginners to intermediate or advanced.

All art groups are facilitated in practical sessions, as well as with the Online studio materials which also allow for the rapid development of those who can make the time to draw, read and even paint in their own time outside of class time.

Students often start with still life studies, landscape, ocean paintings but can draw and paint any theme, any genre, as they develop their drawing, painting and design skills.

Most students are working in acrylics on canvas, but other mediums can be explored as well. Acrylics are most practical to begin with in a classroom situation.
