Join artist and Saltaire Art School founder, Nina Hunter, for a 3-hour Acrylic Painting Masterclass that blends painting with the foundations of drawing.

In this busy run-up to Christmas, take a moment to slow down, breathe, and carve out a little time just for you. Surrounded by the calm and inspiring atmosphere of Sonder, you’ll be guided through the process of creating a beautiful acrylic painting — from quick drawing warm-up to layering colour on canvas.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to deepen your skills, Nina will gently lead you through:

• Drawing for composition, scale and proportions; getting familiar with the subject

• Acrylic techniques — foundations of colour theory, blending and brush handling

• Learn to look with intention, slow down and switch off from the life’s relentless demands

• You’ll leave with your own finished painting, refreshed and inspired — the perfect pause before the festive rush.

The class includes:

• Foundations of drawing focusing on scale and composition

• Painting a still life subject under the bespoke guidance

• Own station with all painting materials

• Herbal Tea
