Master the Art of Coastal Painting & Drawing on the Central Coast.
Step inside the creative process with Naomi Veitch. Whether you are picking up a brush for the first time or looking to refine your professional technique, these sessions offer a rare opportunity to learn within a working artist’s sanctuary.
Surrounded by bushland with filtered water views, Naomi’s Horsfield Bay studio provides the perfect atmosphere to master the light, texture, and colour of the Australian coast.
Alternatively, Naomi also tutors group art classes in Woy Woy Bay.

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.
