We are surrounded by the most gorgeous seascapes in our region and this class is a way to capture something special to decorate your house.
If you’re someone who says you can’t even draw a stick figure or the only thing you can paint is a bedroom wall then you are my ideal person! You see, this was me 6 years ago, before I realised that painting is a skill that can be learnt at any ages. It’s not necessarily something you are born with! It’s also great for those that have painted before and all skill levels as it’s just a fun day in general.
This class is perfect if you want to have an enjoyable and fun experience, get guided tuition and learn the basics of painting something from scratch.
Wednesday 14th January 2026 10am - 2pm @ The Post and Rail 58 Riddoch Street Penola SA 5277
$185 per person and includes a complimentary glass of wine from my family’s vineyard.
If you thought you can’t paint but you wish you could. Or perhaps you’d love to paint something you’d be proud to hang on your own wall, you are going to love this class. We are going to go through some basic painting techniques that I’ve learnt that really give you great results.
Whilst we’re painting a seascape in acrylic paint, we’ll go through some helpful beginner tips like blending colours, how to do your original sketch, how to finish your painting and get it ready for hanging. We’ll also talk about composition and values and how to get depth in your painting.
We start the class with freshly baked morning tea, tea or proper coffee and we end the day with a delicious Ploughman’s Lunch using local cheeses and my Chutney’s and Pickles that I’ve made from my garden. It also includes a glass of wine or a home made lemon squash.
You get all the notes from the day emailed to you so that you can reference them any time you want. Come on your own or bring a loved one for this fun, immersive class.
All you need to bring is yourself, I supply the canvas, aprons, paints and brushes and I can’t wait to get painting with you.
*Please advise if you would like to bring your own unique canvas or object to paint on as we normally paint on a 40cm x 50cm canvas but sometimes you have a spot that needs a bigger or smaller canvas or you might have a saw blade!
