Please note: If you are new to painting you may wish to consider transferring to Jill’s new class instead: An Introduction to Acrylic Painting and Mixed Media (Wednesdays, 2.45-4.15pm).
This would allow Jill to give you more individual tuition as this class will be smaller. You would then have the option of moving to the Painted Journey class later in the year. This new class will cover the same wonderful themes and techniques as The Painting Journey, with a focus on developing core skills and confidence.
An Introduction to Acrylic Painting and Mixed Media is part of our Painting & Drawing classes, held at Parnell Community Centre in Auckland.
Join Parnell Community Centre's ''An Introduction to Acrylic Painting and Mixed Media'' class with Jill McIntosh.
This class is perfect for those wanting to learn the foundations of painting, develop essential techniques, and gain confidence working with acrylics and mixed media.
Throughout the course, students will explore a wide range of artists and subject matter, building skills through guided practice and experimentation in a supportive environment. In this class, our tutor Jill can give you more individual tuition as this class will be smaller, than the Painting Journey.
Bring your own materials (as listed) for an immersive artistic experience designed to expand your skills and unlock your creative potential. Perfect for all levels!
