Are we going to paint every week or is there theory too?

The classes are set up so you can enjoy painting even when there will be bits of theory. So we will work on paintings every week, if we didn't complete a painting in a 2 hour session, we can bring them back or leave them in the dry rack for the next class. The idea is not to rush through art.

Can I bring a friend?

Yes you can, we love seeing families and friends enjoy each others company and book the class just for them selves too! If you book all 8 tickets for your group, we can provide you with light snacks. Just email us in advance.

There is a coffee and tea pot to make coffee at the studio. Mariam will be more than happy to provide tea bags and instant coffee, if you like cream, please bring it. You can bring your own drinks and snacks too.

Where can I see what we will paint?

Each week you will create a painting that is based on a technique demonstrated in form of a painting. Samples can be seen online. The idea is to work on things like composition, colour layering, depth, light etc.. but you can do that by painting one of the many samples the artist will guide.
