Gouache Painting | Youth Art Studio

2026 | Saturdays OR Sundays 12-2PM OR 2-4PM

Gouache paint is the perfect medium as an introduction to painting for beginner artists. Being water soluble there is less mess and it is easy to work in a smaller scale on paper. As the favourite paint of illustrators and designers, gouache is a versatile medium that dries quickly. From more traditional painting approaches to contemporary stylised illustration, gouache paint's versatility makes it a great choice for newbie painters.

Our mixed discipline Youth Studio classes have limited spaces with preference given to returning students before places are opened to new enrolments. The class consists of artists working in a variety of mediums and each student is taught as an individual as well as limited group instruction.

TERM FEES
In 2026 the term will run for 9 weeks - the cost is $500, payable in full 4 weeks prior to the commencement of term.

Please note that places are first offered to returning students before opening up for new students on the waitlist. Returning students places must kindly be paid for in full by the due date on the invoice, unfortunately failure to do so, will see your child’s place offered to new students.

As artists’ progress is accelerated with at home practice, students require their own materials and tools for use in the studio and at home. The list is available from Amazon with links below. Some items may come from Amazon international stores so it is best to order 2-3 weeks in advance to ensure delivery before commencement of the term. Free delivery is available to Prime members and orders over $59 (at time of publishing).
