Starting Acrylics (Term 3 2025)

Explore the vibrant world of acrylic painting in a relaxed and encouraging environment. Led by experienced art tutor Marilyn, this class is designed for beginners and those with some experience in other creative mediums who are ready to discover the versatility of acrylics.

You'll learn foundational techniques, experiment with colour and texture, and build your confidence step-by-step. Bring your curiosity and creative spirit – no previous acrylic experience required!

This is a new class for Term 3 2025.

Suggested materials to bring along for the class:

• Canvas board

• Any acrylic paints and brushes you have

• Surface on which to mix paint (for example a plastic plate)

• Water container (for example a yoghurt pot)

• Rags for cleaning

  
  

Attendees may also wish to bring along a 'wet palette'- which is a plastic tray (reusing a meat tray is ideal) with baking paper and a chux.

Who will be teaching?

Marilyn is a local artist with a lifetime of experience in art using porcelain, glass, acrylics, pencils, charcoal, watercolour, oils and pens.
