Create a haunted house artwork for Hallowe'en.Working in a loose, expressive style, youll explore how water, pigment and movement come together to create an atmospheric painting. You'll learn some fun painting techniques such as washes and salt effects, to create your background. Create and cut out collage elements and stick them on to create your own unique haunted house picture.Nici will guide you step-by-step with a short demonstration before you dive into painting with guidance and encouragement along the way.
This class is about slowing down, enjoying the process, and letting your brush lead - perfect for beginners and everyone wanting to reconnect with the joy of painting.By the end of the session, youll leave with your own spooky artwork and the confidence to keep painting.Suitable for ages 7 - 12 accompanied by an adult.
