What you'll do
Do you ever feel like there's an artist within you just waiting to come out but you've always been too afraid to even try? Or maybe you've dabbled in painting before but lack the confidence to really express yourself on the canvas.We understand how daunting it can be to approach a blank canvas, which is why the playful painting weekend course was created, a safe, encouraging, and super supportive environment for people just like you.Join your teacher, Melanie, for a weekend of dancing, splashing, spraying, scraping, dripping, mark making, and laughing as we unlock your creative flow and ignite your passion for painting. Our intuitive, playful process is perfect for beginners and those wishing to breathe new life into their painting. You'll be amazed at the talents you uncover within yourself.By the end of the course, you will go home with a beautiful, unique painting and a huge smile!Please note: There is a materials fee of $60 payable to the tutor on the day. This is for a 90 x 60 cm single thick canvas, quality acrylic paints, use of posca pens, stencils, printing foam and brushes. I have found people prefer that I supply everything but if you'd like to bring your own materials, that's also fine. You will need to contact me so I can give you the list of what you need to bring.
