Think before you buy

  1. It is the reponsibility of the buyer to "think about what you want the service to do" (ref: Fair Trading N.S.W.)
  2. If you intend to learn only one painting then you are likely at the wrong academy. The mission here is Art Literacy. Read on: Which painting should I do?
  3. "Read the fine print by checking the terms and conditions of sales on the website carefully, including expiry dates on vouchers." (ref: Australian Competition & Consumer Commission)

Shop Around

  1. Shop around and compare quality and price (ref: Fair Trading N.S.W.)
  2. Before you commit to qualifications or courses shop around to find the course best suited to you. Compare prices, fees, content and length of the courses. (ref: Fair Trading N.S.W.)
  3. To assist you in that process I have created a table showing:
    • Questions to ask when evaluating an art course
    • Contact details for some local art schools
    • Some illustrative data points. These were compiled in 2017. Of course you should obtain current information
    • Access that table here: Shop around (Painting course comparisons)

    You will not be admitted to the session if you arrive after 11:45.

  • Arrive any time between 11:30 and 11:45.
  • Check the location: 67 Christie St. St Leonards as Christie St runs to both sides of the Pacific Highway.
