Paint with Confidence: Acrylic Painting for Beginners
About
We are excited to introduce Deborah Burton for her one-day workshop and invite you to discover the joys of painting with acrylic.As a practising artist with a passion for helping others to explore their creativity, Deb had designed her workshops to be welcoming, enjoyable and accessible to those with little or no prior painting experience.
This workshop will guide you through foundational acrylic techniques in a supportive environment, allowing you to build confidence and to leave with a variety of completed art pieces that you’ll be proud to take home.
