Beginners Acrylics Workshop Thurs 16th May 1:30pm

Join Helen Worthington of Evendawn Arts in this Acrylic workshop perfect for someone with little or no experience. You will work with acrylic paints and inks, along with brushes and palette knives.  If you have already done some acrylic painting, then you might find a different approach here, but if you are completely new to the medium, we’ll work together to build your knowledge and confidence, and create some lovely artwork.

There will be 2 different projects within the workshop.  Firstly, a small ‘abstract-style’ piece on a small canvas board, to introduce you to the paints/inks, brushes and knives, and how they act on a surface.  This will be a loose and imaginative exercise.

The second exercise will be a small step-by-step ‘beach-scape’ picture, using acrylic paints, brushes and palette knives, to create a simple impressionistic scene.  This will form a good basis for further exploring the medium of acrylics in the future, should you wish.

All materials will be provided

Please don’t forget to bring something with you to carry your projects home in – a small lidded tray or box will be fine.

Important Note: Acrylic paints and inks will stain clothing and not wash out, so please ensure you wear clothing that is suitable for this type of work.  (Aprons will be provided on the day).

Also, although I’ve never experienced any problems with acrylic paints, if you have any allergies you might wish to bring some protective gloves in case of contact.

Cancellations – Non-refundable – within 14 days of workshop date.

Please note that if you wish to use our Tearoom before the class you must book a table via our website as we cannot guarantee availability.
