It's Massive Action, No Planning!

Three hours in our Indoor Art Garden, working large and working fast. A professional artist who paints this way teaches you the techniques, then you use them to make something that is entirely your own. No experience needed — you leave with an original work of art.

Techniques You'll Learn

Your instructor demonstrates each technique, then coaches you through it on your own canvas. There is no set picture to copy.

Pouring & Dripping
Controlling viscosity and flow so the paint does what you intend it to do.
Throwing & Flinging
How distance, wrist action and loading the tool change the mark you get.
Layering & Timing
When to let a layer set and when to work wet-into-wet for depth.
Colour Mixing
Building a palette that stays vibrant instead of turning to mud.
Composition at Scale
Balance, movement and focal point on a canvas far bigger than a sketchbook.
Unconventional Tools
Squeegees, palette knives, brooms, bottles — and what each one is good for.

The same methods taught in our adult classes and workshops — here you use them at full size, in one evening.

What's Included

  • ✅ Instruction for the full three hours — demonstration, then hands-on coaching at your station.
  • ✅ A 16″ × 20″ canvas. Larger canvases (up to 40″ × 60″) are kept in stock and recommended for this work — buy one at the studio on the night if you want to go bigger.
  • ✅ All paints and tools — non-toxic paints, brushes, palette knives, squeegees and the rest. Nothing to bring.
  • ✅ Your own station with easel, table, palette and water pail.
  • ✅ Aprons, shoe covers and cover-ups. Even so, don't wear your best clothes.
  • ✅ Clean-up. Make as much mess as the work needs — tidying up is our job.

Please note: food and beverages are not included or served. You're welcome to eat before you come.
