Return to basics, get grounded and channel the freedoms of your inner child again with this addictive and expressive Textured Painting class! Have you seen those videos on Tiktok with the palettes and blobs of paint? Well, this is your class!

We’ll be working with a range of acrylic paints, and be guided through a variety of mediums to combine with our paints to create different tactile and visual textures. You could choose to use sand, gesso, charcoal, flour, even leaves, to create textured and expressive pieces.

There’ll also be a variety of tools to use, such as palette knives, brushes, and even your own hands to layer your paints and additives. 

This art class is for everyone. It focusses far more on your own experience of making your artwork, reclaiming painting if you haven’t done it for a while, and less about a finished masterpiece. So long as you enjoy yourself along the way.

All materials are provided, come along for some fun in this refreshing art class.

What will we cover?

In this fun, hands on workshop you will learn how to: 

  • Work using acrylic paints
  • How to mix acrylic paint with other items for unique texture
  • How to paint with palette knives 
  • How to layer your paint
  • You’ll leave with your own unique painting!

Please have a think about how to transport your artwork home safely.

Who will be teaching? 

Robert (he/they) is a queer engineer. They clearly don’t express enough creativity in their day job, so by night goes by their alter ego ‘ART FIEND’.

Robert believes that art is for everyone and focuses value on the process more than the outcome. As well as different sorts of hands-on painting, Robert also loves sewing as its tactile nature is really good for mental health and de-stressing. You can follow Robert’s artistic pursuits on Insta.
