Reviews of our Art Classes

Originally known as Painting For Beginners, Fitzroy Painting has been running studio-based art classes since 2009. We are proud of our classes, our teachers and the courses we offer. We are especially proud of the students who put their trust in us and leave with a sense of achievement and the skills to continue painting at home. Here are some of their testimonies:

May 2023: URBAN LANDSCAPE DRAWING

Great course, great teacher. The course gave me more confidence about drawing in public and getting key things right like perspective and cross-hatching. Really lovely day.

May 2023: DRAWING STUDIO 1

Really enjoyable class. I learnt some useful skills and enjoyed playing around with the different mediums. Julian’s guidance was helpful, and he also gave you space to try things out yourself. I came into the class as a beginner, and it has given me the motivation to attend the drawing 2 class, as well as life drawing sessions :)

May 2023: WATERCOLOURS LEVEL 1

Fabulous class run by a fabulous teacher ! Judith was encouraging, patient and had a great sense of humour particularly with the likes of me who had never painted before. A great group of participants too A must to do for anyone!

May 2023: BEGINNERS OIL PAINTING LEVEL 3

Fitzroy Painting offers the best art classes in Melbourne in a perfect location. Rachael is a wealth of knowledge and experience, which she is very generous in sharing. This class takes you to the stage of being able to understand the full painting process, setting you up well for your next stage of your own studio development. Sign up! I’ve learnt so much.

April 2023: WATERCOLOUR WORKSHOP

Fabulous, it was my first ever painting experience and the teacher Judith was just awesome. Highly recommend, very satisfying. It exceeded my expectations, David

April 2023: ABSTRACT PAINTING WORKSHOP

This workshop was incredible, very inspiring! Eleanor was very generous with her tips and knowledge of abstract painting techniques.

April 2023: BEGINNERS LEVEL 1 OIL PAINTING

I had a great time. Kez was a great teacher and I completed week 4 with a more thorough understanding of oil painting than I would have thought possible. Would highly recommend.

March 2023: BEGINNERS LEVEL 1 OIL PAINTING

It was fun, informative, inspiring and gave my friday a sense of fun.
It was smoothly structured and instructions were very clear and simple and step by step built my confidence as an absolute beginner with oil painting.
Looking forward to engage with this school furthur. Thank you Judith for walking with us step by step. I found your classes very helpful.

Great course for learning all the basics, broken down step by step – this was exactly what I needed and has improved my confidence! Thank you, looking forward to level 2 :)

March 2023: DRAWING STUDIO 2

I thoroughly enjoyed these classes with Julian, overall a positive and encouraging learning experience! After doing this course I feel I have gained important skills in drawing. The life drawing in particular was a really valuable exercise.

February 2023: MONDAY NIGHT STUDIO

Such a lovely, supportive environment and a gorgeous studio space! Perfect for exploring your own work with some guidance.

February 2023: DRAWING STUDIO 2

Julian was fantastic. Couldn’t recommend the Drawing Studio 2 course highly enough. Will be keeping a hopeful eye out for Drawing Studio 3!
