What This Workshop Is
The Matisse & Merlot Acrylic workshop is a welcoming evening introduction to painting designed for beginners and curious creatives alike. In a relaxed studio setting, you’ll learn more about Henry Matisse and be guided step-by-step through creating an impressionist acrylic painting and collage while enjoying merlot wines and light refreshments.
During this 3-hour guided session, you’ll learn approachable acrylic techniques including color mixing, brushwork, layering, and adding contrast. The project is carefully structured so you can follow along easily while still making personal choices in color and style.
By the end of the evening, you’ll leave with a finished acrylic painting on canvas — and the confidence that you can paint.
