No prior experience is required – just a willingness to embrace your artistic spirit!

 
So are you ready to release your inner artist and be a creative?
 
Painting is not just about creating art; it’s a therapeutic journey that allows you to unwind, destress, and tap into the soothing rhythm of colours and forms. Connect with fellow beginners who share a similar passion.
 

Step-by-step guidance is crafted for those who have never held a brush.
You will discover the joy of expressing yourself through each stroke.
Throughout the day you will learn the basics of colour mixing, brush techniques, and composition in a supportive environment.
We will be using acrylic paints as these are one of the most versatile, especially for beginners.
 
This course will run over three weeks.
The Dates are WEDNESDAY 19th, 26th March and 2nd April and will be in the afternoon from 1 pm – 3 pm.
 
  • Week 1: We will learn about colour theory, the colour wheel, mixing and blending colours. We will also look at which brushes to use.
  • Week 2: Once mastered the colour mixing we can move on to looking at skies, clouds and sunsets. How we apply the paint and which brushes to use. We will finish with painting a sky in an impressionist style.
  • Week 3: In this session we will look at the study of trees, again looking at how we apply paint and which brushes to use and introduce palette knives.
It is advisable to wear old clothes, but there are disposable aprons for your use. All materials are provided and you will go home with your finished painting at the end of the day on week 2 and week 3.
