The afternoon will cover painting a face onto canvas with a limited colour palette using acrylic paints.

6 places available. Paid bookings are essential to secure your place. Bookings close 3 days before date of workshop.

What to bring:

Yourself and comfy clothes you don’t mind getting messy (just in case)

A light lunch if you like or have specific dietary requirements

An open mind and a notepad if you would like to take note

All materials, light snacks and coffee/tea provided in a comfortable home setting. Your work is yours to take home and show off your new skills!

Suited to the beginner, the curious and the always-been-scared-to-paint-faces. Bring a friend, or a group. A great gift idea too! Minimum of 3 for the workshop to go ahead.
