Acrylic Painting Workshop

This workshop is designed for children aged 6-12 years old, without accompanying parents or adults.

In this session, children will learn to work responsibly with acrylics, creating art on paper and canvas boards. They will receive individual guidance as they develop their own ideas,. They could choose to focus on any subject they prefer: landscapes, abstract, animals, or birds.

Throughout the workshop, participants will learn the following techniques through demonstrations:

• How to mix colours to achieve their desired hue
• Techniques for blending colours on the canvas
• Methods for creating textures with paint
• Strategies for layering colours effectively
• How to create smooth gradients

A Note on Using Acrylics: We carefully select our paints to ensure they are suitable for children, free from heavy metals. Aprons are provided and we ensure the space is well-ventilated.

Please note: All necessary materials will be provided. No prior experience is required; the workshop is suitable for both novices and more experienced young artists.
