Learn to Paint Programme

Explore colour, build confidence, and develop your painting skills in a welcoming studio environment at The Art School, Chester. Our Wednesday evening sessions are designed for adults who want to learn how to paint with guidance, structure, and creative freedom.

Each session begins with a short tutor-led demonstration, focusing on key painting techniques such as colour mixing, brushwork, layering, tone, and composition. You’ll then work on your own painting, applying these skills with ongoing support from a qualified art teacher.

​

Whether you’re new to painting or looking to refine your technique, this programme helps you make steady, enjoyable progress over time.

​

You can view our current theme blocks below, with each block exploring a different painting focus — from beginners acrylics to more expressive or technical approaches. You’re welcome to join at any point, making it flexible to fit around your schedule.

 

Perfect for:

• Beginners wanting to learn how to paint from scratch

• Those looking to improve confidence with colour and materials

• Artists returning to painting after a break

• Anyone wanting structured guidance without rigid step-by-step instruction

 

What to expect:

• Weekly painting demonstrations and technique guidance

• Support with acrylics and mixed media approaches

• Individual feedback and one-to-one support

• Small group sizes for a personalised experience

• All materials included
