What type of painting medium should you try?

Acrylic painting

Acrylic paint is a favourite medium among artists due to its versatility and ease for beginners. By adjusting the amount of water or paint thinner used, painters can experiment with different textures and layering techniques without colour mixing. The quick drying time of acrylics also allows for multiple layers to be added within a shorter timeframe. Beginners can get lost in the creative process of applying paint to canvas and creating their own unique works of art. 

For a truly one-of-a-kind experience, join this acrylic painting class in Manchester, that’ll combine acrylic painting with a fun terrarium making class. You’ll begin by making a small glass terrarium, filling it with beautiful flora to create a miniature ecosystem that’ll brighten up your desk or mantelpiece. You’ll then follow it up with a cute botanical painting that’ll act as an excellent companion for your new plant pal.

Watercolour painting

Watercolour painting is unique due to its vibrant and translucent nature. When painting, watercolour creates a soft and flowing effect, allowing you to layer colours and create delicate artwork. Though it dries quickly, waiting for each layer to dry teaches you to slow down and enjoy the creative journey. 

Once you’ve mastered these skills, you'll realise just how easy and rewarding watercolour painting can be! Join this watercolour painting class near Manchester from Floating Art and learn to paint beautiful flora using watercolour pencils and paints. These workshops are perfect for those looking for a mindful activity or seeking to try something new, as you'll leave feeling rejuvenated and proud of the vibrant and beautiful paintings you create.

Oil and ink painting

Oil painting allows you to express your creativity in new ways by experimenting with different painting techniques like wet on wet or glazing. While this medium takes longer to dry, the results are worth it, as you can achieve contrasting light and darkness in your paintings.

Ink painting is also a unique way to unleash your creativity. By using different types of ink and playing around with the amount of water, you can create bold lines or light washes of colour. Join this alcohol ink painting workshop and learn how you can create your own unique designs on paper or canvas. Alcohol ink gives a particularly hazy and washed-out effect, and you’ll find that the act of giving up control for a more random result is freeing, relaxing and mindful.

Paint and sip events

Are you looking for an exciting new way to paint? Then sip and paint classes in Manchester are the perfect activity for you! With a glass of wine in one hand and a paintbrush in the other, you can create your own masterpiece while enjoying a fun and relaxed atmosphere.
