These painting courses for beginners are all about having a play, being curious and discovering what you can do with paint. Discovering the process of painting comes first, to build your confidence with the materials, and then when you are ready you can start to paint real things from pictures!

Great for you if you have come along and tried one of my Painting: Getting Started classes already, but this is not essential.

About the course

In this painting course for beginners we will be experimenting with lots of different ways of applying acrylic paint, and having lots of fun in the process. We will be using printing, adding textured mediums to the paint, using pallet knives, brushes and our hands, as well as creating painted collages. The course will then build up to you painting something that you would like to paint from a photograph (for example a landscape, scene or portrait).

Each class starts with lots of warm up exercises to get you started / help you to loosen up, and then there will be plenty of time to explore and experiment with the materials and techniques available.

At the end of the course you will have learned a lot about working with acrylic paint, what it can do as a medium, as well as learning what techniques you enjoy using best. You will finish the course feeling inspired and ready for more painting (and a trip to your nearest art shop)!

You can choose to either attend a 6 week course (in the evenings or day time) or a course run over 2 full days.
