Acrylic Painting Classes

​​

Bring your favourite photo to life on canvas in this hands-on, personalised acrylic painting course. This is not a step-by-step class but a supportive space where you’ll receive tailored guidance and learn essential techniques to transform your chosen photo into a unique painting.

​​

You buy a pass for 1 class,  4 or 6 classes. You can come on Friday morning or on Saturday morning. Select the day. You can let me know which date you want to start. This is very flexible, I just need to know when you come to prepare the room.

​​

What You’ll Learn:

• Photo Selection and Preparation: Understand how to choose or adjust a photo to make it paintable. Learn what works best for composition, lighting, and simplicity.

• Techniques as You Paint: Explore blending, layering, brushwork, and texturing techniques directly applicable to your photo.

• Individualised Feedback: Receive one-on-one support to overcome challenges and refine your skills throughout the painting process.

Materials not included: I will send a list of good and affordable materials (canvas, tubes paint, brushes to get).

Some people might be quicker or slower than others. There is no rush to paint; just enjoy learning and relaxing while making something from start to finish.

​

Class Details:

• Duration: 2 hours per class

• Who’s It For? Beginners and intermediate painters who want to work on personal projects with guidance.

You’ll walk away with a completed acrylic painting (or more) that’s uniquely yours, along with new skills to continue your artistic journey.

Materials to Bring:

To get the most out of your sessions, please bring:

• A printed or digital photo reference you want to paint.

Bonus: Colour Theory & Composition Guide

Before your first class, you’ll receive a colour theory guide to help you understand how to mix colours effectively. This will help you get started with confidence and make the most of your painting sessions.
