Join experienced artist Lynn Ward for a day of exploring the medium of acrylics. Let Lynn guide you through all the processes involved in creating your very own masterpieces – from mixing colours to picking the correct brush to create the desired effect.
This course is a great stepping stone for beginners or artists with a little more experience who just wanting a reason to dust off their brushes!
In this workshop you’ll be observing a ‘still life’ and developing your painting skills to both draw with them and then continue to paint with colours. You will bring shapes to life by observing shadows, highlights and the relationship between each object.
The day will start with short demonstrations and drawing, to be followed in the afternoon by a full colour observation of a still life.
By the end of the day you should have something that you can take home and proudly display!
Please note there is a £10 materials charge payable on the day.

What to expect
Time at ArtisOn is designed to take you away from it all. We provide the environment, the time and the guidance you need to create. You can expect a warm welcome, skilled and friendly tutors and the chance to meet like-minded people keen to share ideas. You can even leave us to clear up the mess! There will usually be two workshops going on and we encourage everyone to mingle and be nosey about what the other workshop is up to.
We encourage you to arrive at 9.30am. This will allow time to meet other participants over a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits before beginning workshops at 10am. There will be a mid-morning break for refreshments and a chance to talk over progress with others. Lunch is usually around 12:45 for about 45 mins – you can expect a delicious homemade 2 course lunch. There will be a further afternoon break with tea or coffee and cake. All food and refreshments are included in the price of your workshop.
The finish time given is a target. There are occasions when the session may overrun so do let us know if you need to be away promptly.
We aim for your day to be a real treat. You could always learn a new skill in a shed or a draughty village hall with a curly sandwich, but we want you to have more fun than that! So we make sure we provide a day where you will be looked after, with good food, good company and great inspiration!
