Learn how acrylics compare to watercolours and oils. Experiment with techniques. Then create a small, finished painting, supported with individual feedback throughout.

This workshop is perfect for anyone who wants to explore the acrylic medium and enjoy two days of creativity in a friendly group. Whether you’re new to acrylics or want to refresh your skills, you’ll leave with practical knowledge, new techniques, and a finished artwork.

What you’ll experience

Clear explanations of acrylic behaviour, mediums, and tools

Technique practice on small boards

Colour mixing and composition guidance

Step-by-step support to complete a small painting

A relaxed, constructive group critique to celebrate your progress
