Workshop Overview
Spend your Valentine's evening creating at The Art Foundry. This painting session offers a relaxed alternative to traditional Valentine's plans, whether you're coming with your partner, friends, or on your own. Working with acrylics, you'll complete an original painting from start to finish with instruction that makes the process accessible and enjoyable. No previous painting experience required—our approach focuses on teaching foundational techniques while encouraging personal interpretation. Leave with a finished piece you'll actually want to display.
Format: Single session (2 hours)
Skill Level: All levels welcome
What You'll Experience
This two-hour session provides instruction for creating a complete painting. You'll learn practical acrylic techniques including color mixing, brush handling, and layering while working at your own pace. The instruction breaks down the painting process into clear, manageable parts without being prescriptive—there's room for individual choices and experimentation. The atmosphere is relaxed and social, designed for conversation and focus alike. You'll gain hands-on experience with composition, color relationships, and paint application techniques. By the end of the evening, you'll have a finished work and a better understanding of the painting process.
