Introduction to Acrylic Painting
Advance Price: £16
This introductory acrylic painting workshop is perfect for anyone curious about exploring acrylics or looking to refresh their skills.
In this hands-on session, you’ll learn the fundamentals of acrylic painting — from getting started with a composition, to basic colour mixing, application techniques, and brushwork. You’ll work from direct observation, developing your drawing skills while gaining confidence with composition. By the end of the course, you’ll have created a small study to take home — and you’ll leave feeling inspired and eager to continue your painting journey.
This workshop is led by local artist and qualified teacher Emma-Jayne Emmott, who is passionate about encouraging creativity.
All materials are provided.
Age 7+, Families welcome.
1pm-2.30pm.
