Melbourne watercolour painting class - beginners - paint and sip this week in Northcote
Think watercolour is just for serious artists? Think again.
At Paint With Me, our watercolour paint and sip classes are designed for people who have never touched a brush in their lives -- and people who secretly have but needed a good excuse to try again. Every week, our fine arts qualified artists guide you through a beautiful watercolour painting from start to finish, step by step, at a pace that actually makes sense.
Our Northcote studio is warm, relaxed, and always stocked with everything you need. You bring yourself (and your drinks, because yes, it's BYO). We bring the paint, the paper, the brushes, the guidance, and everything to have a creative good time.
Watercolour is one of those mediums that looks intimidating until the moment it starts to work! Then when it does, it really works. Watching colour bloom across your artwork, learning how to let the pigment do its thing, finishing the night with a painting you want to show off. Sound good to you? Well that's the Paint With Me experience.
Whether you are looking for something fun to do on a weeknight, or planning a low-key catch-up with friends that has nothing to do with screens, this class delivers that and more!
No experience required, all skill levels welcome, and all materials are provided.
Paint With Me is an award-winning art studio based at 579 High St Northcote, Melbourne, with over 1000 five-star reviews on WeTeachMe and a 4.8-star rating on Google.

Open every day for creativity and built for beginners, date nighters, birthday groups, and curious art lovers of all kinds.

FAQ
Do I need any art experience? Not at all. Our artists walk you through every step from start to finish. If you can hold a brush, you can do this.
What do I need to bring? Just yourself and whatever food and drinks you'd like. All art materials are provided.
What's different about watercolour vs a regular paint and sip? Watercolour has its own techniques like wet-on-wet, colour blending, letting the paint do the work. Our sessions make those accessible and fun for complete beginners.

About Paint With Me Melbourne
Our whole studio is made up of local artists that teach affordable, high quality, and most of all fun art workshops 7 days a week.
In 2026, alongside being given the title "The Anchor of Melbourne's Inner North", we were celebrated for the largest provided class and workshop schedule - in the entire country!
Paint With Me took the cake as the top winner of awards here in Melbourne out of any workshop businesses across Australia. We ranked #1 in art lessons, painting and drawing, and craft in WeTeachMe's 2026 Curated editorial guides, with the title of "Experts in" and "Top Studio To Follow".
Not only that, Eloise Nouvelle was featured in their publication "12 Women on WeTeachMe Who Inspire and Inform" which you can read here. In 2025 we were awarded as a "KidsBook Outstanding Provider" for our, well, outstanding art classes! In 2026, we've committed to keeping our studio accessible and affordable for all; with heavily discounting weekly paint and sip and kids classes, opening extra days in the studio, and donating completely subsidised arts education to schools in Melbourne (not just the inner north!), and have made all of our art and craft workshops 100% NDIS accessible with 3 ways to book, helping more people enter spaces to create without limitation; whether that be physical, social, or financial.
In 2027 we plan to do more of our excellent work in our community, with partnerships across Melbourne's deeply important helpers in education, council, community space, and social enterprises.
Follow us for our updates as we continue letting Melbourne be as creative as possible, no matter what!
