Workshops & Studio Classes with Leisl

Leisl Baker is a professional painter and designer based in regional Queensland. Known for her vibrant landscape, garden and still life paintings, her practice moves fluidly between studio work and painting outdoors en plein air.

Teaching has become a natural extension of her practice. Through workshops, plein air weekends and ongoing Studio School programs, Leisl helps students develop both technical confidence and their own visual voice. Her approach combines strong foundations in observation, composition and colour with a supportive and encouraging learning environment.

Whether working outdoors in the landscape or in the studio, students are invited into the real processes of a working artist – learning not only how to paint, but how to see.

“I loved our plein air weekend so much! Leisl was a brilliant teacher, taking her time with each of us on our paintings, as well as doing mini group lessons. I’d highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience plein air, learn landscape painting, or even just spend a great weekend in the country. I met so many lovely people too!” 

Adele

“I haven’t stopped smiling! You did such a fantastic job of meeting all our needs and exceeding my hopes.”

Rebecca

“Thank you a million times over! I couldn’t believe how much your directions over the weekend have helped me to elevate my work compared to before. You’ve got me so excited about the art making now!”

Mary

“Thank you for your time, guidance, energy, wisdom, and open mind to us all. I felt so comfortable and free to be able to get on with the learning and painting. Brilliant experience all round! Can’t wait to do it again.”

Emily

“Thanks again Leisl for all your encouragement and guidance.” Jewel

“Leisl offers a concrete and informative guide to landscape painting outdoors without being prescriptive. A focus on elements such as composition, shape and colour experimentation served as a valuable starting point from which to explore our own style and creativity. A really valuable 2 days whilst enjoying  great food and company.” Kerrie
