Imagine learning to paint while being surrounded by artworks by accomplished artists.
Being inspired by colours, current trends and techniques while immersing yourself in the soothing sounds of jazz and the smell of freshly roasted coffee…
The acrylic painting classes for beginners offer a wonderful opportunity to develop your painting skills in a contemporary fine art gallery environment, led by a professional artist.
During each 3-hour session, we’ll create original paintings from start to finish, each one designed to teach you different aspects of painting, including colour mixing and theory, brush handling, composition, transferring images from a photograph, the theory behind a great abstract painting, portraits, landscape and more.
The classes aim at absolute beginners and more advanced painters who want the space to experiment.
What You Will Learn:
- Understanding art materials and their uses
- Techniques for transferring images from printouts
- Proper brush handling methods
- Colour theory and mixing techniques (say goodbye to muddy colours!)
- Fundamentals of composition
- Key principles of abstract painting
- Develop a keen eye for detail by observing and appreciating the subtle nuances that elevate a painting
What to Expect:
- Paintings of Still Life, Landscapes, Portraits, and Abstract pieces inspired by the Great Masters
- Personalized guidance and expert advice or simple feedback (as required)
- A 3-hour evening in the company of art and gentle jazz music while sipping herbal tea.
