Come and Enjoy our Class using Acrylic Paints
Acrylic painting is a fun and versatile medium that uses pigment suspended in a water-based polymer resin. It’s easy to work with, dries quickly, and can be used on a variety of surfaces like canvas, wood, and paper. When you paint with acrylics, you can adjust the texture and consistency by adding water or acrylic mediums, allowing you to create everything from smooth, delicate washes to thick, textured layers. Acrylics are great for beginners because they are forgiving, dry fast, and can be easily cleaned up with water. Plus, once dry, the paint becomes waterproof and permanent, making your artwork long-lasting.
Come and Enjoy our Class using Watercolour paints
Watercolor painting is like creating magic on paper! It’s all about using transparent pigments mixed with water to make beautiful, flowing washes of color. The fun part is watching the paint spread and blend, often in unexpected ways, creating soft, dreamy effects. You can start with light, gentle layers and build up to darker shades, or even let the water do some of the work for you. It’s a playful and experimental medium where you can embrace happy accidents and explore how colors mix and flow. In your watercolor class, you'll get to experiment with different techniques and learn how to control the water and paint for everything from soft, airy hues to bold, vibrant strokes. It’s a fun, relaxing way to bring your creativity to life!
Come and enjoy our Drawing class and use chalk pastels
Chalk pastels are like crayons, but way cooler! They’re soft, vibrant sticks of color that let you draw and blend in super fun ways. The best part? They go on smoothly and let you build up layers of rich, bold color or create soft, dreamy blends. Whether you’re sketching light, fluffy clouds or making vibrant, eye-catching artwork, chalk pastels let you play with textures and create stunning effects by smudging, layering, or even rubbing them into the paper. In your drawing class, you’ll get to experiment with different techniques—like blending with your fingers, using tools, or adding highlights with white pastel. It’s a fun, hands-on medium that’s perfect for beginners to explore their creativity and make art that pops!
Come and enjoy our Drawing Class and use Graphite and Colour Pencils
If you're new to drawing, using both graphite and coloured pencils is an exciting way to dive into the world of art! In your class, you'll learn how to use graphite pencils to create everything from soft shading to sharp, detailed lines. You can practice building up tones and textures, or even experiment with light and shadow to bring your drawings to life. Once you add colored pencils to the mix, the fun really begins! With colored pencils, you can layer colors, blend them together, and create beautiful, vibrant artworks. Whether you’re sketching, shading, or adding pops of color, you’ll discover the endless possibilities that both lead and colored pencils offer to make your drawings stand out. It’s a great way to express your creativity and develop your skills as an artist!
