Enjoy a fun, creative acrylic painting session exploring two‑point perspective through an individual giftbox or a playful stack of gift boxes. You’ll start by sketching simple box forms to keep angles crisp and believable, then bring them to life with colour, pattern and highlights.

This relaxed workshop encourages experimentation with any acrylic techniques — flat colour, blending, dry‑brush texture, glazing or impasto — so each participant can personalise their design. The focus is on confident perspective drawing, clean edges and expressive surface detail, resulting in bright, characterful artwork that combines structure with creativity. Perfect for beginners or anyone wanting to refresh their acrylic skills in a friendly, guided environment.
What will I learn?

Each taster focuses on a specific subject or medium. You’ll be introduced to key techniques, guided step by step through a main piece, and shown how to break the process down into simple, achievable stages. There’s a mix of tutor demonstration, gentle exercises and one-to-one support, so you leave with new skills, fresh inspiration and a finished artwork to take home.
Who is it for?

These taster sessions are for adults (18+) of all abilities. They’re ideal if you’re completely new to art, coming back after a break, or thinking about joining one of our longer courses and would like to experience the atmosphere, teaching style and studio first.
What's provided?

All materials are provided for the session, including drawing/painting materials, paper, reference images and handouts, plus tea, coffee and biscuits.
What to bring?

Just yourself and a willingness to experiment! Sketchbooks are provided

About your tutors

"I graduated from Falmouth School of Art with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art Painting, and I've spent over 26 years in mental health education as a Thrive Practitioner. I've also taught art at GCSE, A level and within FE colleges, which has strengthened my belief in how powerfully creativity supports wellbeing and self-expression. My own work is inspired by music, colour and the natural world, exploring rhythm and atmosphere through both observation and intuitive mark-making. Creativity, for me, is a way of connecting with others, and that belief shapes my teaching - supportive, expressive and grounded in helping people find resilience and balance."

“Art has been my whole life — which probably explains the paint on my shoes and the sketchbook in my shopping bag. Teaching is my way of passing on the passion. I don’t expect perfection, just a willingness to try and an openness to learning when things go sideways. My sessions are practical, relaxed, and occasionally interrupted by the sound of someone discovering that acrylic paint does, in fact, get everywhere. If you’re curious, you’re ready!”
