This creative workshop invites teens to transform everyday scenes of homes and neighbourhoods into expressive oil paintings. Using personal photographs as inspiration, students will learn foundational oil painting techniques focused on capturing atmosphere and memory. The session encourages young artists to explore colour, texture, and composition to bring familiar streets to life on canvas.
The class is designed to be both educational and inspiring, perfect for teens eager to develop their artistic skills in a supportive environment. With guidance from experienced artist Natalie Popovski, participants will gain confidence in their painting abilities while enjoying a relaxed, creative atmosphere.
Whether your teen is a budding artist or simply curious about oil painting, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to connect with art and personal stories.
The workshop runs on Tuesday, 14 July 2026, from 13:15 to 16:15. It is suitable for teenagers and costs $75 per child. The session includes a supervised morning or afternoon tea break, and if booked for a full day, a lunch break as well. Breaks are typically held outside in the beautiful garden, weather permitting.
Participants are required to stay on-site during breaks for safety, and if your teen will be arriving or leaving independently, a waiver must be completed to grant permission. This ensures a secure and well-managed environment for all attendees.
This is a school holiday workshop, making it an ideal creative activity to keep teens engaged and inspired during the break.
