Unlock your creativity and enter into a world of colour,
texture & personal expression through paint at this four hour
workshop in the centre of London; back for 2025 and suitable for
all!
Whether you’re a total beginner or an
experienced artist, this class offers something for everyone, with
lots of one-to-one tuition available, a relaxed, supportive
atmosphere and a focus on creative freedom. All materials are
included so all you need to bring is yourself & an open mind. We
work with acrylic paint to minimise the potential for mess & to
ensure that most paintings will be dry by the end of the class.
The workshop is led by figurative
artist Dan Whiteson, whose vibrant and passionate approach to
teaching drawing & painting has inspired students across London and
the UK for over a decade. His unique, energetic style encourages
experimentation and creativity, ensuring that every student feels
confident and inspired to push their boundaries.
The session will begin with some
quick warm up drawings to loosen your creative
muscles, then two shorter poses of around 30 minutes to ease
your way into using paint, followed by a focused long pose of 2
hours, allowing you to more deeply explore painting from the human
form. There will be breaks every half hour to ensure both comfort
for the model, and to maximise the amount of support available to
anyone who needs it.
New for 2025, there are now four
ticket options; one includes a deli style lunch & a drink, and the
other includes a coffee and your choice of pastry from The
Ministry's delicious selection. You can now also choose to 'bring
your own materials' as well. Please send a message in advance if
you have any dietary requirements
*Please note* I never want
money to be a barrier to the arts, and I'm fully aware that times
are hard for many right now. If you would like to join the session,
but are unable to pay full price, please do not hesitate to message
me directly.
