"Anyone can paint if they are given the right instructions.” - Marcel Desbiens, Master Artist and Principal Tutor
Marcel has designed learning pathways to give students structure as they develop from novice to advanced artist.
If you have limited or no experience with Acrylic paint, then we recommend you start with Jenni Kelly or Beth Kennedy, both of whom will help you learn the basics of acrylics in a friendly and supportive environment.
Next, you can focus on your own work while given expert guidance in the studio environment with Acrylic Painting Practice.
Once you have built your confidence with Acrylic, it's time to develop and broaden your skills with a weekend workshop run by a guest artist, covering a range of subjects.
