Acrylic and watercolor painting

Start with color, brushwork and texture, then explore your own ideas with guidance from Merit. These private classes are designed for beginners and can adapt as your confidence grows. Acrylic and watercolor sessions typically last 1–2 hours. Merit confirms the medium, materials and anything you need to bring when you arrange your session.

Digital illustration with Procreate

Explore digital drawing tools and bring visual ideas to life on your iPad. Sessions are tailored to the learner and typically last 1–2 hours. Bring an iPad, a compatible digital pen and Procreate. Tell Merit about your age, experience and the kind of illustration you would like to try so she can discuss a suitable starting point.

Clothes, shoes and candle-jar upcycling

Give an everyday object a new story through painting. Clothes and shoe sessions can use a clean item such as sneakers, a jacket, a bag or a shirt. Candle-jar sessions explore painting on used jars. Upcycling sessions last around two hours and are adapted for the learner. Confirm the item, paints and other materials with Merit before the class.
