What you'll do
Come and discover the art of oil and acrylic painting at MASA-UK Art Gallery in Altrincham, where you'll learn real techniques in a relaxed, genuinely supportive environment. Whether you're picking up a brush for the first time or want to deepen your skills, this workshop with professional artist Ava is designed so you'll create confidently, make progress, and leave with a finished artwork you're proud of.Throughout the day, Ava will guide you through the essentials of oil and acrylic painting. You'll learn how to mix colours for depth and harmony, apply brushwork for different textures and effects, build layers and use contrast to add energy, work with both wet and dry surfaces, and plan a composition that holds together beautifully. Every step of the way, you'll have her support at your own pace – because this is about discovery and personal expression, not perfection.The clever part is choosing your subject. You're free to bring your own inspiration – a floral still life, landscape, abstract, or portrait – or work from the curated reference materials Ava provides. But here's something genuinely unique: if you want something more personal, send Ava a one-line idea or theme (think "quiet morning at home" or "memories of a seaside town") at least two days before the workshop, and she'll create a bespoke digital reference image tailored just for you to paint from.All professional-grade materials are included – oils, acrylics, brushes, canvas, palette, apron – so you just need to show up with curiosity. Ava has over a decade of experience helping people build real skills and confidence with painting. Her teaching blends structure with freedom, making the technical side feel natural and accessible, whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refresh your practice.
