What sets us apart?

Art Outdoors classes are small and participants produce their own unique picture, not just one mass-produced image.  We help you choose an individual interpretation at each location and give you tuition and advice on composition, colour mixing, techniques and more.  We make it easy for you by providing all the materials you need. You will be guided through the steps to create a truly unique masterpiece that is yours to take home.

Come by yourself, bring a friend or friends!  You can even choose from our different locations and book your own exclusive Art Outdoors session for your friends or work colleagues.

About Us

Louise Collier

For the past ten plus years I have been teaching art.  I am very appreciative of the opportunity to do this as I enjoy sharing my knowledge, satisfaction and joy of personally creating an artwork. As a lover of the great outdoors, Art Outdoors presents the perfect way to immerse myself in both art and nature.

Art for me is an expression of appreciation for the beauty of everything and can capture moments in time that are good to remember.  I experiment across different genres and mediums that include landscapes, portraiture, life/figure drawing and whilst I personally work mostly with oils, I also use many other mediums including acrylics, resin, pastels, watercolour, charcoal, ink and pencil.
