In this full-day immersive workshop, you’ll not just learn the art of painting, but also grow to love it.

We’ll kick off with acrylic paints, introducing you to a world of vibrant colors and textures. We’ll guide you through all the basics: from the tools and materials you’ll need, to the principles of color theory, composition, light, and perspective. We’ll also dive into the fun of color mixing and explore different painting techniques using a brush, palette knife, and even your fingers!

Under Stephen’s expert guidance, you’ll learn the ins and outs of turning a simple sketch into a finished painting. We’ll provide plenty of practice through a variety of subjects and exercises – think basic compositions, serene still life, captivating landscapes, and calming waterscapes.
