Melbourne Studio Of Art

I have many, many hobbies. One could feasibly argue I am a woman of many talents. Or ADD.
However, if you’re wanting to learn more about painting and drawing recommend you pop into Melbourne Studio of Art.
The front section is an art store that sells discount supplies, and the back section runs introductory and intermediate drawing and painting classes. I have done two series of classes here and both the main teachers — Ignacio and Ben — are enthusiastic and nice guys to boot. I have definately seen an improvement in my drawing/​painting whilst I have been a student here as the art direction and instruction is of high quality.
The venue itself is not particularly shiny, but it’ll do. It’s not an interior designer’s dream, it’s a working art space.
It’s hard to find decent art classes southside. Hey, not all arty people live northside y’know. Some of us are south of the Yarra. It’s even harder to find art classes that also supply all materials. This makes life so much easier. You don’t need to lug everything there and back every time, all paper, canvasses and brushes are provided when you rock up to class so it ends up being cost effective.
Currently doing Saturday afternoon classes here and plan to continue. It’s a nice chilled way to use the creative part of the brain with other like-​minded souls.
