Art Classes - NSW Central Coast
Join artist Naomi Veitch for relaxed, private art classes or private painting lessons in her home studio on the New South Wales Central Coast. Surrounded by bush land with filtered water views and lots of natural light, this is the perfect location to learn to paint or draw.
Alternatively, Naomi also tutors group art classes in Woy Woy Bay.
Hear from our students.
If anyone had asked me if I could paint or draw, I would have given them a firm "no". However, I've just completed my first ever term of painting and drawing classes with Naomi and I can confidently say that anyone can paint or draw!
Naomi taught us so much about the different types of media and techniques that I have now discovered a new love of both painting and drawing.

I felt that my art session with Naomi Veitch was very worthwhile and I totally enjoyed it! Naomi was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with colour-mixing, information about paints, methods & techniques, perspective and so on. Highly recommended!!!

Naomi conducted some bespoke 1:1 pencil drawing coaching for me. And she did not disappoint! Learned so much in a very short space of time. Thoroughly enjoyed the sessions. And renewed by passion to keep going. Super impressive ability to identify just what needs tweaked to make a drawing come alive. Thank you Naomi!

I started drawing classes this year with Naomi Veitch and am so happy I did. The classes are friendly, Naomi is great, giving structured lessons or just letting students do their own project with very helpful advice. There is no pressure but Naomi quietly watches our work and teaches improvements that really bring life into our work. Its lovely to meet like minded people too.

The painting classes are really enjoyable and I can't wait for the next lot of classes to start at the end of April. Naomi is an amazing teacher - so talented and knowledgeable. The small class makes for a very friendly and relaxing atmosphere.
