Discover the Heart of Creative Image Studios

Uncover the story and mission behind our vibrant community dedicated to making art accessible to all.

Our Story

Creative Image Studios was founded with a simple yet powerful vision: art is for everyone. What began as a single studio in South Africa over 36 years ago has grown into a thriving network of creative spaces where thousands have discovered confidence, purpose, and peace through painting.

From day one, we’ve remained committed to our belief that learning art should be structured yet approachable. Our signature step-by-step curriculum is thoughtfully designed to equip students with essential techniques—empowering them to create artworks they once thought impossible.

Our Creative Philosophy

We believe painting is more than just a hobby—it’s a way to connect with yourself and others.

Our approach combines:

  • Proven fine art methods adapted for beginners
  • Clear, progressive lessons that build skill and confidence
  • A nurturing environment where everyone feels valued

What Sets Us Apart

  • Over three decades of experience and trust
  • A unique, structured curriculum
  • Friendly, professional instructors
  • A welcoming community spirit
  • Affordable, accessible art education
  • Our Students walk away knowing they can paint any artwork with confidence, applying the skills they learned from us. 
  • Being able to successfully master artworks results in happy students.

“It was my dream 24 years ago and still is. Thankfully at 73, I can still do this. I have had my franchise for 24 years now.  I learned more from Creative Image Studios than I could have done on my own or online. Started my studio in 2000 when a lot of people told me that it wont work. Not 1 regret. Still going strong. Thanks to our head office. I love my job. Best thing I ever did.”

Edna Watham
