During this workshop, you will learn how to paint a bird with acrylics from the supplied reference picture. Whether you are a beginner looking to explore the basics or a more experienced artist hoping to refine your skills, this workshop offers a comprehensive and supportive learning experience.

Why acrylics?
Acrylics can be used on a variety of surfaces, from canvas and paper to wood and fabric, allowing you to experiment and create diverse artworks. Unlike oil paints, acrylics dry quickly, enabling you to build layers and make changes to your artwork without long waiting times. Water-based and easy to clean, acrylics make the artistic process enjoyable and hassle-free.

Foundations of acrylic painting
Master fundamental techniques such as blending, layering, and texture creation to bring your paintings to life. Understand the principles of colour mixing and learn to create harmonious palettes.

No experience required
This workshop is open to all skill levels, from complete beginners to seasoned artists looking to refine their skills. My goal is to create a welcoming and inclusive space where everyone can explore the joy of painting. My step-by-step lessons are easy to follow, ensuring that everyone can benefit from the workshops.
