Explore acrylic painting with botanical stencils, colour and texture. Create your own unique 40 × 40 cm canvas. No experience needed!

A relaxed and creative painting workshop at Festival Place

📍 Venue: The former Customer Lounge, Festival Place

Discover the joy of painting and unleash your creativity in this relaxing, hands-on acrylic workshop!

Using a collection of botanical stencils inspired by nature, you'll explore how to combine colour, texture and layering techniques to create your own beautiful piece of artwork.

Inspired by abstract impressionist landscapes, we'll experiment with the magic of acrylic paint, building depth, atmosphere and texture before bringing our compositions to life with botanical elements such as flowers and trees.

What to expect

We'll start with a friendly, step-by-step demonstration, introducing you to the basic techniques of working with acrylics, creating textured backgrounds and using botanical stencils effectively.

You'll then have the freedom to choose your own colour palette and develop a background that reflects your personal style. As your painting takes shape, we'll explore how to introduce botanical details and build a composition that feels uniquely yours.

Throughout the session, you'll receive friendly guidance, practical tips and plenty of encouragement, whether you prefer following instructions or experimenting independently.

This workshop is all about creative freedom, exploration and enjoying the process. No two paintings will be alike, and there's absolutely no need for previous painting experience – just bring your curiosity and imagination!

✨ All materials are provided, including a generous 40 × 40 cm canvas, so you'll leave with your very own original artwork to take home.

🎨 Come along, relax, experiment with colour and texture, and discover what you can create!

No experience necessary – everyone is welcome.
