Lobster painting workshop
Create your own bold, playful lobster painting in this relaxed and beginner-friendly acrylic painting workshop. Guided step by step by your artist tutor Mia Cathcart, you will learn how to build a striking composition, use colour confidently, and paint this characterful design. It may look tricky for a beginner...fear not! Mia has a tried and tested way to guide you easily through this project even for those who never painted before!
Each participant will receive a printed lobster template to trace, so you do not need drawing experience to enjoy the class. This makes it ideal for beginners, nervous starters, and anyone who wants a creative session without the pressure of drawing from scratch. More confident painters can also use the design as a starting point and enjoy developing their brushwork and colour choices.
During the workshop you will explore key painting techniques including colour mixing, layering acrylic paint, adding highlights and shadow, controlling brushwork, and creating a clean, graphic finish: plenty of individual guidance from Mia throughout.
This is a brilliant choice if you are looking for painting classes, acrylic art workshops, or a fun creative workshop where you leave with something vibrant and frame-worthy. You’ll head home with your finished lobster artwork and new confidence with the brush.
