OIL PAINTING Fine Art Classes

Saturdays OR Sundays

12-2pm OR 2-4pm

What We Offer:

ART101 Studios offers authentic fine art tuition in several methods of oil painting suitable for absolute newbies through to intermediate artists wanting to take their work to the next level. We really do demystify the ‘creative process’ so that you gain a thorough understanding of what to do, how to do it and why.

Successful art creation does not come from ‘natural talent’, instead it is the gathering of practical skills as well as the understanding and application of theory. Good artists have become so through dedication to learning and practice.

With an emphasis on best studio practice and methodical process, students are guided on how to plan, start and finish an artwork. Our incremental step by step approach ensures artists become competent and therefore confident. It is highly recommended that absolute beginners start with our charcoal program in order to train your eye in preparation for oil painting.

About the Studio:

As a mixed discipline studio, you will be working alongside artists who are at different stages along the learning timeline and you’ll be exposed to other mediums that you may wish to try in the future. Your tutor will work with you as an individual so that you can comfortably work at your own pace and feel productive.

Nestled in the leafy suburb of Kenmore Hills, our sizeable (140sqm) art studio space is air conditioned with good ventilation and lighting as well as convenient street and secure lot parking. Each artist has ample workspace and easels are provided for use in the studio.

Term Fees:

Our classes run for 9 consecutive weeks during school terms. Please see term dates below.

The fee is $500

The term fee is payable in full prior to commencement of the term. Spaces are strictly limited so that each student receives one on one attention. Advance booking is essential - do contact us on 0450 422 545 for payment details.

The list can be found here.

PLEASE NOTE: We are a ‘turpentine free’ studio and for safety reasons, do not allow it to be used on site - do refrain from bringing this to class to clean brushes (the materials list offers a citrus spirit alternative).
