Bring home a splash of creativity with this friendly, low-pressure painting workshop at Riverwood Library. Tailored for adults, it’s a chance to try a new art class, unwind after school runs, and meet other local creatives in a supportive environment.
What to Expect
You’ll be guided by artist Phillip Okwara through simple techniques that help you produce a finished piece in one session. This is a painting workshop for beginners and those who haven’t picked up a brush in years—no pressure, just fun and creativity.
Participants can expect a relaxed pace with clear demonstrations and one-on-one support where needed. Materials and basic paints are typically provided, and the atmosphere is social—ideal for parents who want a calm morning activity after school drop-off or on a weekend.
A few short notes to help you decide:
- Friendly, adults-only environment suitable for beginners
- Hands-on painting with guided instruction
- A chance to meet other parents and refresh your creativity
Activity Details
The workshop runs for approximately two hours, focusing on practical painting skills and creative expression. It’s designed as a single-session event so you can join without a long-term commitment to classes.
This session emphasizes fundamentals—colour mixing, brush techniques and composition—so you’ll leave with a small finished artwork and new skills you can practise at home. The workshop is marketed as a painting workshop at Riverwood Library and promoted as a community art class.
Please note that numbers are strictly limited and bookings are essential to secure your place. The session is adults-only and runs at a leisurely, family-friendly morning time.
