Essential Acrylics Techniques Class

Acrylics 101: a friendly, no-pressure intro to the fundamentals



2 hours Class size 1 to 10 guests    

  $65 (Afterpay & PayPal Pay in 4 available)

This Acrylics Essentials workshop is a relaxed, beginner-friendly introduction to painting with acrylics designed for anyone who’s never painted before or feels totally unsure where to start.
In this 2-hour session, we’ll demystify acrylic paint and break it down into easy, manageable basics: how to use your brushes, mix colors, work with paint, and build images step by step. No prior experience, no pressure, and no expectation to be “good” just a supportive space to learn, experiment, and get comfortable with the medium.
Think of this as Acrylic Painting 101: simple explanations, hands-on guidance, and encouragement the whole way through. You’ll walk away understanding the fundamentals, feeling more confident with paint, and ready to keep exploring on your own.
Turn it into a creative day? Our Drawing Essentials workshop is happening earlier the same day.

Picture Point has been proudly serving Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, the Hunter, and the Central Coast with expert custom framing for over 20 years. Our passion for presentation and visual storytelling has brought us into the heart of the art world, where every frame holds a story and every artwork deserves to shine.
Over the years, we've had the privilege of framing thousands of unique pieces, from treasured family memories to one-of-a-kind creations. That experience has inspired us to go beyond the frame and offer something more: a creative space where art is not only preserved but also created and shared.
Through Art at the Bay, our growing program of art classes, workshops, and community events, we’re excited to invite our customers and fellow creatives into the world of making art. Led by a passionate team of practicing artists, our mission is to make art accessible, enjoyable, and meaningful for everyone, regardless of experience.
Whether you’re looking for quality framing, a welcoming space to explore your creativity, or support as a local artist through our Creative Club, Picture Point is here to celebrate and support your artistic journey.
Because for us, framing and art go hand in hand, and we believe everyone has something beautiful to share.
For any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
