Find your painting tutor in Florey

Learning to paint on your own is absolutely possible with the right approach and consistent practice.

• Select a medium: watercolour or acrylic paints are ideal starting points before moving to oils.
• Observe carefully: practise seeing your subject as a collection of shapes, tones, and colours.
• Limit your colours: fewer hues force you to mix intentionally, which deepens your understanding of colour theory.
• Study composition: understanding how to arrange elements on your canvas is just as important as technique.

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

In Florey, expect to pay about $28/h for an hour of painting tuition.

The cost depends on a number of things:

• Your experience and where you want to take your painting
• The instructor's credentials and track record
• The package you choose (one-off or regular sessions)
• The teaching mode (in-person or video call)

Comparing several profiles helps you find the best value for your budget.

Every painting follows a series of stages that guide the artist from a blank canvas to a finished work.

• Setting up: before any painting begins, the surface is prepared with a ground or wash to create a stable base.
• Composition stage: large areas of colour and tone are placed to define the overall arrangement of the piece.
• Development: detail and complexity are built up gradually, with each layer contributing to the final effect.
• Refinement: the artist reviews the whole work and makes small adjustments to colour, edges, and focal points.

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