Frequently Asked Questions
No. We provide all materials for our workshops – paints, brushes, paper and canvases. You only need to bring yourself and clothes you do not mind getting a little paint on.
Acrylic is often the easiest to start with: it dries quickly, is easy to correct and does not require solvents. We also run dedicated beginner sessions in watercolour and oil.
Most workshops run for 2–3 hours. We also offer half-day and full-day sessions. See our Schedule & Prices page for details.
