Learn all about brushstrokes

Those seemingly simple brushstrokes play a vital role in creating depth, texture, and movement in your artwork, so it’s important to start your journey with this basic building block. At a paint and drink class, you'll learn fundamental brushwork techniques like layering, blending, and impasto – but don’t worry, these aren't intimidating scientific terms! Your friendly instructor will guide you step-by-step through each technique, ensuring you understand the process and can confidently create stunning effects on your canvas.

Master the palette knife

Tired of the traditional brush? Explore the world of palette knife painting! This unique technique involves applying paint directly from a knife onto the canvas, creating bold textures and unique effects. At our paint n sip workshops, you can learn how to use the palette knife to create dramatic landscapes, textured abstracts, and even expressive portraits. It's a fantastic way to experiment with different textures and unleash your creativity in a new way!

Learn about colour theory

Ever wondered why certain colours seem to ‘pop’ together, while others create a clash? Unlock the secrets of colour theory at a paint n sip class! You'll learn about colour wheels, primary and secondary colours, complementary colours, and more, which will empower you to mix stunning palettes, create vibrant contrasts, and make informed choices to bring your artwork to life.
