What we will be doing

Your First Steps on the Canvas

Ever wondered how to turn a blank canvas into a world of colour and form?
This is where your painting journey begins.

In this 6-week foundation course, you’ll explore the essential techniques and principles that every painter needs — using acrylics, the most versatile and beginner-friendly paint out there. But this isn’t just “an acrylics course”. It’s your gateway to learning how painting works, no matter what style or subject you pursue in the future.

We’ll dive into brushwork, colour mixing, layering, and composition — giving you a well-rounded foundation to build on. You’ll experiment with different tools and effects, understand how to start and finish a painting, and learn what makes a composition visually work.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone who’s played around but wants more structure, this course offers the perfect mix of guidance, practice, and creative freedom — all in a supportive, studio environment.


✏️ What to Expect

  • Step-by-step weekly guidance from a professional artist
  • Live demonstrations to introduce key techniques
  • Plenty of hands-on painting time to practise and experiment
  • Tools, tips & tricks to build your painting confidence
  • A relaxed space where you can ask questions and explore

🧠 What You’ll Learn

  • Core painting techniques with acrylics as your starting medium
  • How to mix colours and build balanced palettes
  • How to work with different brushes, tools, and effects
  • Creating depth through layering, light, and shadow
  • The basics of composition — how to organise what you paint

🎁 What’s Included

We provide everything you need:

  • All materials: brushes, canvases, palettes & paints
  • Full use of our professional studio and tools

Just bring your curiosity — we’ll handle the rest.

🤔 Is This Course Right for Me?

Yes — if you’re ready to stop guessing and start learning how painting really works.
Whether you’re holding a brush for the very first time, or looking to build a stronger foundation before moving on to your own projects — this is where your painting practice truly begins.

🥂 First Class Vibes: Sips, Snacks & Hellos

We like to kick things off on a warm and social note. During the first class, we’ll take a little extra time to get to know each other — and we’ll toast to the beginning of your creative journey with a welcome drink. Choose from a soft drink, hot drink, wine, prosecco, beer — or our Cocktail of the Week.

🍴 Feeling peckish?

Our Creative Café offers a delicious à la carte menu during class sessions — think wraps, salad bowls, finger foods and snacks. Perfect fuel while your masterpiece dries.

  • We’ll safely store your artwork between sessions and package it beautifully at the end
