Saturday Acrylic Workshops!

 

Monthly real-life painting workshops in Willesden Green, Northwest London. All levels welcome including beginners!

Next one is on Saturday 7 June 2025

Join us for a fun afternoon once a month and learn to paint in acrylics.
Susi and Francine are patient and experienced teachers!

If you are curious about painting, like bold colours and admire the art of Van Gogh and Hockney then Saturday Acrylic Workshops for Beginners will be the best choice you can make to get you started.

Never done any painting before? Don’t have any paints, suitable paper or brushes? No worries - please come to your first class just as you are! We will supply everything - after that if you enjoy it and would like to come again please see the list below. You don’t have to buy it all at once, we will have some extra materials to share until you collect all your materials! Do contact us if you need advice on materials.

Willesen Green Studios, London NW10, is just 8 mins’ walk from Willesden Green station (Jubilee Line).

DATE: THE JUNE WORKSHOP WILL BE ON SAT 7 JUNE 2025 1-4pm
SUBJECT: Bring the sunshine in, follow Matisse, Dufy and Hockney. Create a Colourful STILL LIFE! Bring some small objects if you can
