"Anyone can paint if they are given the right instructions.” - Marcel Desbiens, Master Artist and Principal Tutor
Marcel has designed learning pathways to give students structure as they develop from novice to advanced artist.
If you have limited or no experience with Acrylic paint, then we recommend you start with Jenni Kelly or Beth Kennedy, both of whom will help you learn the basics of acrylics in a friendly and supportive environment.
