We will provide you with a gentle introduction to Monet, teaching you about his painting techniques, the compositions and colour theories of his paintings, his brush works and a little about where he drew his inspiration. Finally, you might get some ideas on how to read his paintings.

You will be guided through your painting step by step from our teacher’s demonstrations, our workshops are suitable for painters of all levels, whether you’re a regular painter or even if you haven’t picked up a brush since high school but want to learn something new. Our workshops are a blend of both fun and learning and are a perfect activity for you to escape into during your weekends.

We will bring along a selection of Monet’s paintings to use as references. Our workshops aren’t just about copying what’s in front of you; they’re about learning what’s behind them and about how the artists created their works.

Knowledge required

• Beginner friendly – all levels welcome. Our teacher is a practicing artist and has 15 years of teaching experience following her education to a masters level.

Materials (all provided)

• Acrylic on canvas

• We provide all required materials including aprons although we still recommend you wear something that you wouldn’t mind getting paint on.

What you'll get

Fun, relaxation and learning! You will take your work home; it would be handy if you could bring along a bag of at least A3 size just in case you need to brave Manchester’s weather on your journey home.
