About this workshop

Capture the personality of someone special by creating a hand-painted portrait using acrylic paints. Whether it's yourself, a loved one, a family member, a friend, or even a favourite pet, you'll leave with a unique piece of art that's entirely your own.

Celebrate someone special through art in our Portrait Painting Workshop. Whether you'd like to paint yourself, a partner, a family member, a friend, or even your favourite pet, this workshop is all about transforming a meaningful photograph into a beautiful hand-painted portrait.

Bring along a printed or digital reference photo, and our instructors will guide you through the process of sketching proportions, building facial features, mixing colours, and adding depth with acrylic paints. You'll learn practical painting techniques while still enjoying complete creative freedom, whether you prefer a realistic style, something expressive, or a colourful contemporary interpretation.

All materials are provided, including a canvas, acrylic paints, brushes, easel, apron, palette, and everything you'll need throughout the session. Our instructors will be available to offer tips and guidance, regardless of your previous painting experience.

No artistic experience is required, making this workshop suitable for complete beginners as well as more experienced painters. By the end of the class, you'll take home a personalised portrait that makes a meaningful keepsake or a thoughtful handmade gift.

Good to know

Do I need previous painting experience?

We recommend having some basic painting experience before joining this workshop. Our instructors will guide you throughout the session, but portrait painting is more suitable for those who are already comfortable using acrylic paints and brushes.

Can I come on my own?

Absolutely. Many of our guests attend solo, and this workshop is perfect whether you're coming alone, with friends, or as a couple.

Who can I paint?

It's completely up to you. You can paint yourself, a partner, a family member, a friend, or even your favourite pet. Please bring a clear reference photo of the person or pet you'd like to paint. You can use either a printed photo or one on your phone or tablet.
