Create your own beautiful wildflower canvas while learning the fundamentals of painting in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

Join us at Liberation Art Gallery for a beginner-friendly painting workshop where you'll be guided step by step to create a colourful wildflower painting on canvas.

Whether you've never picked up a paintbrush before or are looking to build confidence with acrylics, this gentle workshop is designed to help you enjoy the process of painting while learning essential techniques along the way.

You'll follow a simple demonstration led by your artist facilitator, with plenty of opportunities to personalise your artwork by choosing your own colour palette and adding your own creative touches. Every painting will be unique, celebrating the beauty and individuality of wildflowers.

🎨 What You'll Learn

Throughout this 1.5-hour workshop, you'll be introduced to the foundations of acrylic painting, including:

Mixing colours to create harmonious palettes

Choosing the right brushes for different techniques

Building layers of paint

Creating texture and depth

Painting simple flowers and foliage

Adding highlights and finishing details

Developing confidence with acrylic paints

The session is designed to be enjoyable, accessible, and easy to follow, with guidance provided every step of the way.

🌿 Make It Your Own

Although everyone will follow the same composition, you'll be encouraged to personalise your painting through your own choice of colours and expressive brushstrokes. Whether you're inspired by soft meadow tones, vibrant summer blooms, or calming pastel shades, your finished canvas will reflect your own creativity.

🌼 Creativity for Wellbeing

Painting can be a wonderfully calming and mindful activity, encouraging us to slow down, focus on the present moment, and enjoy the simple pleasure of creating.

Inspired by the resilience and beauty of wildflowers, this workshop offers a relaxing space to unwind, learn something new, and leave feeling refreshed and inspired.

✨ Perfect for Beginners

This workshop has been created especially for people who are new to painting or returning to creativity after a break.

No previous experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to have a go. Your artist facilitator will guide you throughout, making the experience enjoyable and pressure-free.
