Discover the possibilities of acrylic painting in this relaxed, beginner-friendly workshop. Build confidence with colour, mark-making, and simple techniques in a morning.

An ideal introduction to acrylic painting, this 3-hour workshop explores a versatile and fast-drying medium, perfect for working spontaneously and building confidence with paint.

Based in the studio, you’ll be guided through simple, dynamic approaches to help you get started with confidence. Through short demonstrations, you’ll explore colour mixing, basic colour theory, and expressive mark-making using a variety of tools and surfaces.

This accessible session is designed to move at your pace, offering a relaxed and supportive environment to experiment, play, and discover what acrylics can do. You’ll leave with a stronger understanding of acrylics and the confidence to continue exploring your painting.

Please note: This is an adult workshop, however we would welcome children aged 14 or over, if accompanied by a paying adult. This is the case as we cannot guarantee that all our tutors have been DBS checked.
