Acrylic Painting Class - Aerial Seascapes Study

Unlock Your Inner Artist and Craft Your Own Masterpiece - Aerial Seascapes Study



2.5 hours

Class size 1 to 8 (public classes), 12 to 50
  £59

The wait is over—our much-loved seascape class is back!
A relaxed artist-led experience where your creativity leads the way.
Spend 2.5 inspiring hours inside a real working artist’s studio, creating your own contemporary bird’s-eye view seascape on a 30 × 40 cm canvas board.
This is not a formal, school-style lesson, and you won’t be expected to copy the tutor’s painting exactly. Instead, your artist instructor will demonstrate techniques, introduce you to the materials and show you how to develop a seascape from an aerial perspective—while encouraging you to make your own creative choices.
Choose your colours, shape your coastline and add the details that speak to you. Every finished artwork will be completely individual.
Learn From an Established Practising Artist
Your session may be led by Paperdoll Art Studio founder Alma Tipon or by one of our accomplished artist instructors.
Our classes are taught by professional practising artists with established creative careers, their own individual art practices and many years of experience. Our teaching team includes gallery-represented artists whose work has been exhibited and recognised within the art world.
You’re not simply attending a craft activity—you’re spending time with a working artist who can share genuine creative knowledge, demonstrate professional techniques and offer thoughtful guidance as your artwork develops.
What the Experience Will Be Like
Your instructor will show you how to approach a bird’s-eye view seascape and introduce techniques for:
* Creating a strong aerial composition
* Combining blues, turquoise and coastal colours
* Building depth, movement and atmosphere
* Layering acrylics, gouache and other materials
* Adding details with Posca pens
* Using metallic accents to give your artwork a beautiful finish
* Making confident creative choices without worrying about perfection
There is no pressure to keep up, no strict formula and no single “correct” result. You’ll have the freedom to experiment, ask questions and work at your own pace, with supportive guidance available whenever you need it.
Your £59 Ticket Includes
* A full 2.5-hour artist-led studio experience
* Tuition and guidance from an established practising artist
* A 30 × 40 cm canvas board
* Acrylic paints, gouache, Posca pens and metallic materials
* Use of brushes, palettes, easels and all necessary equipment
* Individual support within a small-group setting
* Unlimited tea or coffee and biscuits
* Your completed original seascape to take home
Everything is included, with no additional materials to buy. For £59, you’ll receive professional artist guidance, access to specialist materials, refreshments and an original artwork created entirely by you.
More Than Just a Painting Class
This experience is an opportunity to slow down, enjoy the creative process and spend time making something without pressure or judgement.
You’ll gain an understanding of how practising artists approach colour, composition, layering and self-expression. You’ll also build confidence in your own creative decisions and leave with techniques you can continue using long after the class has ended.
Most importantly, you’ll take home a one-of-a-kind artwork that reflects your own style—not a copy of everybody else’s.
Spaces are kept limited to maintain a relaxed atmosphere and allow time for individual guidance.

  • 5/5 from Maddalena Cella, attended Jan 2025: I had an incredible time at Alma’s acrylic art class! Alma is an amazing teacher who truly excels at explaining techniques in a clear and approachable way. She was always available to offer tips, guidance, and encouragement throughout the session. The class was super well-organised, making it easy to follow along and focus on creating. Alma’s warm and welcoming personality made the experience even better, especially with the thoughtful treats she provided to keep us energised. I couldn’t recommend this class enough, whether you’re a beginner or experienced, it’s a fantastic way to learn and have fun!
  • 5/5 from Siddiq Islam, attended Jan 2025: Alma is a wonderful teacher. She showed us her favourite techniques and gave us time to experiment and explore with them. We ended up with paintings we were proud of, and we had lots of fun. A great class for beginners!
  • 5/5 from Patricia Fragoso, attended Dec 2024: Alma was absolutely brilliant, we thoroughly enjoyed the class and can’t wait to come back again next year with more people!
  • 5/5 from Holly Foxon, attended Nov 2024: I love classes with Alma! Her classes are very therapeutic and she encourages new techniques.
  • 4/5 from June Battye, attended Apr 2024: Ishbel Fleming-Boyd put everyone at their ease and made this first art class of mine an enjoyable one. She was very welcoming, gauged well the levels of interest and ability of participants, enabled each of us to put pencil to paper early on and gave helpful comments and assistance as we each undertook our first painting using quality canvases and paints. I would highly recommend Ishbel for painting classes whether for novices like me or for more experienced people.
  • 5/5 from Aaron Thomas, attended Feb 2024: Super fun and relaxing painting session. Me and my partner did very different styles of paintings but we’re both very happy with them. I used one of the ocean references Alma provided and my partner used some abstract artwork. Both came out amazing with Alma’s help and encouragement.
  • 3/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Feb 2024: This class would be great for people with some familiarity with painting or drawing. If you’re a true beginner, this may not be the right class for you. There were not many techniques presented at the beginning and with everyone doing a different painting, it lacked the structure and guidance that a true newbie needs.
  • 5/5 from Shazia Karsan, attended Jan 2024: I always have the best time at this class. Thomas is incredibly talented and such an amazing teacher. I have learnt so many new techniques and cannot wait to learn more. A great class with a wonderful relaxed environment. I am addicted!
  • 5/5 from Fabi Plat, attended Jan 2024: Really enjoyed the lesson. Learned so much and will definitely come back. Thomas was brilliant ️️️️️
  • 5/5 from Nosheena Mobarik, attended Jan 2024: Thomas was very attentive and really wanted us to create nice paintings. Really enjoyed it.
  • 4/5 from Charles Pugh, attended Jan 2024: Great class, I now have lots of tips that I can use to further improve my painting. Thansk
  • 5/5 from Marta Oppenheim, attended Nov 2023: Great class! Alma is a very engaged and helpful teacher! The materials were very good quality and there was plenty of different paint colours and brushes to choose from. Highly recommend for a relaxing evening with friends!
  • 5/5 from Annabel New, attended Jun 2023: I SO enjoyed the Sea scape painting class with Alma! Alma made sure we all felt pampered and special. The room was full of so many edible treats for a start and very well stocked with all the art materials and inspiration we could possibly want. Having not painted for a while and not feeling very confident, I couldn't have wished for a better environment and teacher. Alma is gentle, relaxed and totally professional. I felt in good hands and I cannot recommend her highly enough. (She's actually too nice and generous- the class ran way over!) I can't wait to book another class with Almarelaxed atmosphere, lovely music. If it's a chilled fun environment you're looking for to rediscover art, or if you're a complete beginner- look no further, you've found your home in Alma! I'm thinking it would make a great group birthday idea or a special treat as a group for any reason. I actually came on my own and bonded with the group who were lovely. Absolute bargain. Can't wait to go again. Thanks Alma!
  • 5/5 from Xiaodan Deng, attended Jun 2023: My friend and I had a great time painting with Alma. She helped me a lot along the way to get the technique right. The seascape came out great! It was such a fun and uk filling experience
  • 5/5 from Sergey Volnov, attended Jun 2023: Amazing painting class! Alma is very friendly and helpful, she was patient to explain how to achieve desired outcome. She was able to allocate some 1:1 time with everyone on the class. The studio was lovely, with some really nice touches. Highly recommended the class!
  • 5/5 from Carey Perry, attended May 2023: Such a wonderful class. The perfect combination of social and gentle instruction from Alma. I learnt so much and felt genuinely proud of the piece I left with. Will definitely be back!
  • 5/5 from Barbara Lane, attended Apr 2023: The class was amazing and I learnt a lot in a short time, very relaxed atmosphere, cool jazz music playing in the background, nice food and good fun! Alma was very helpful and encouraging and gave great tips!
  • 5/5 from Bruno Polster, attended Feb 2023: Alma is super helpful and the atelier is lovely. We had a very fun time.
  • 5/5 from Tara Dankel, attended Jan 2023: I’m an intermediate learner who wanted to know more about acrylic paint technique. Alma showed me some great composition and blending skills.

  • 5/5 from Sonia Kampshoff, attended Jan 2023: The teacher is friendly, experienced, helpful and inspired a positive and open activity. The other attendees were also very nice, and my painting thanks to Alma's teaching surprised me in its quality considering I'm a beginner!
  • 5/5 from Teresa Tang, attended Nov 2022: This was a great class, it had a very nice, comfortable atmosphere and we had all the colours of paints we needed. Alma was very supportive and patient and the class was small enough for her to get round to everyone.
  • 5/5 from Peggy Loo, attended Oct 2022: I really enjoyed my afternoon at Almas class. I was terrible at art in school so didn't think I would be able to produce anything likeable. I was surprised how doable and relaxing it was! Very nice class environment.
  • 4/5 from Subhasri Manikandan, attended Oct 2022: Enjoyed the entire 3 hrs. Alma’s experience comes through. All materials were provided and studio had a lovely ambience. As a beginner the session gave me immense inspiration to start painting.
  • 5/5 from Tor Diaz, attended Mar 2022: I have learnt lots! The class is super relaxing. Alma is super easy, friendly and inspiring. She taught us alot of techniques to get started. Overall, the class is beyond what I expected.
  • 5/5 from Sarah Burnett-Moore, attended Feb 2022: This is really an extraordinary class painting from a perspective to which we wouldn't ordinarily see. Hover high above a tropical beach and paint the sand, sea and trees, adding people and surfboards at the end. Really good fun and I highly recommend it.
  • 5/5 from Hebe, attended Feb 2022: We absolutely loved our class with Alma! We learned a lot in a really short space of time and both came away with paintings that we (surprisingly) loved! The space is super cosy and Almas paintings were the most incredible source of inspiration to create our own. We will definitely be booking again. Thanks Alma!
  • 5/5 from Aneesa Sajid, attended Feb 2022: Alma was an excellent teacher in our group session! The atmosphere was calming and friendly, and Alma has lots of experience and great materials for us to use. With such good guidance I now have a wonderful seascape painting - I would highly recommend this class!

I learnt about acrylic painting techniques and how to layer with these paints. I learnt how to create 3d effects using an array of colours. The venue was amazing as always..very chilled out and relaxed.
  • 5/5 from Louby Louby, attended Feb 2022: Had an amazing 1-2-1 with Alma, completely lost myself in three hours of painting, learnt new techniques with acrylics and came away with a painting Im proud of. High recommend!
  • 5/5 from Jessica, attended Jan 2022: We really enjoyed the painting lesson, we learned a lot. Alma is very helpful and friendly. Time flew by and the paintings came out great! I think we will both be returning :)
