Painting Classes

Turn color-mixing curiosity into true confidence — brushwork, palettes, and whole-canvas painting for ages 7 and beyond.

Inside the course

Color You Can Feel

Sessions open on mixing trays — brush holds, loading, and opening washes — then graduate to our sunlit canvas wall for acrylic, tempera, and mixed-media color. Every painter joins an end-of-term group show, because painting comes alive beside other artists.

  • Sunlit canvas wall
  • Mixing-tray technique
  • Reading color & value

Parent questions

Painting FAQs

Isn't painting terribly messy?

Our studio is apron-and-washroom equipped and each pupil paints at an easy-clean station. Washable paints keep home practice near-spotless.

Should we buy canvases straight away?

No — paper pads serve the whole first year. When the moment comes, we steer you toward budget-friendly canvas boards.

Can shy kids enjoy painting too?

Without question. A third of our painters started reserved, and small groups suit newcomers from age 7 with ease.
