Find your painting tutor in Doubleview

Self-teaching painting comes down to building good habits from the very beginning.

• Select a medium: watercolour or acrylic paints are ideal starting points before moving to oils.
• Think in shapes and values: train your eye to see light, shadow, and form rather than just outlines.
• Master colour mixing: a small palette of primary colours teaches you far more than a full set ever could.
• Practise composition: learn basic rules such as the rule of thirds to make your paintings visually balanced and engaging.

Working with an experienced painting teacher helps you avoid common beginner mistakes and build confidence faster.

A private painting lesson in Doubleview costs approximately $30/h.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• The level of study and your learning goals
• The teacher's expertise and artistic background
• The duration and frequency of lessons
• The teaching mode (in-person or video call)

Most teachers offer a trial lesson so you can test their teaching style before committing.

Whether you're a beginner or more experienced, knowing the stages of painting keeps your practice structured and intentional.

• Setting up: before any painting begins, the surface is prepared with a ground or wash to create a stable base.
• Initial lay-in: the main forms and light/dark relationships are sketched in with diluted paint, mapping out the painting.
• Layering: the artist refines shapes and adds texture and nuance through multiple passes of paint.
• Finishing and touch-ups: final details, highlights, and corrections are made to bring the painting to completion.

With a clear framework in mind, each session becomes purposeful and productive.
