Canvas, colour and someone to guide you. Our acrylic painting sessions are relaxed and unstructured — come with an idea, or arrive with nothing and we will help you find one.

No experience assumed

Most people who join have not painted since school. That is entirely normal. We will help with composition, colour mixing and technique as much or as little as you want.

Questions

Can we paint one canvas together as a couple?

I cannot draw. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Most of our painters start with no experience. We will help you choose something achievable and guide you through it.

Can I bring my own reference or idea?

Yes, please do. Bring a photo or a sketch and we will help you work from it.

Do you run longer painting courses?

Yes. We run a Summer Art Painting Course every Sunday and Tuesday. Message us for current dates and pricing.

Can I take the canvas home immediately?

Acrylics dry quickly, so in most cases yes.

20 JOD per person, including canvas, acrylic paints and brushes, guidance throughout, and snacks with coffee and tea.

Is the workshop taught in English?

Yes. We teach in English or Arabic.
