Beginner-Friendly Acrylic Painting Workshop at Hughenden Estate

Looking for a creative and relaxing thing to do in High Wycombe? Join Toni from Easely Does It for a beautiful acrylic painting workshop in Buckinghamshire, set within the stunning surroundings of the National Trust’s Hughenden Estate.

In this guided painting class, you’ll create “Maria’s Poppies” — a breathtaking landscape featuring a vibrant field of red poppies glowing beneath a warm sunset sky. Rich crimson blooms stretch across the foreground while golden light washes over the landscape, creating a painting full of warmth, atmosphere, and depth.

This striking artwork explores how artists use colour temperature, brightness, and contrast to create the illusion of distance and space, making it both enjoyable to paint and a fantastic learning experience for beginners.

Whether you’re completely new to painting or looking to develop your artistic skills, this step-by-step workshop will help you create a canvas you’ll be proud to display.

What You’ll Learn

Working on a 40cm x 30cm stretched canvas, you’ll discover how to:

✨ Paint vibrant red poppies using simple acrylic techniques
✨ Create a glowing sunset sky full of warmth and atmosphere
✨ Explore how warm and cool colours create depth in a landscape
✨ Use colour brightness and contrast to guide the viewer’s eye
✨ Build confidence with acrylic paints, blending, and brushwork techniques

This beginner acrylic painting workshop combines practical painting skills with an introduction to important artistic principles that can be applied to many future paintings.

A Relaxing Painting Experience for Beginners

No previous painting experience is required.

This welcoming and supportive art class is designed for complete beginners, hobby artists, and anyone looking to enjoy a creative morning surrounded by nature.

Toni will guide you through every stage of the painting process with demonstrations, individual support, and plenty of encouragement.
