Welcome to our little corner of the world, where creativity meets colour, and brushes come to life! We’re a group of artists who have fallen head over heels for the magic of acrylic and oil painting. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned artist looking to refresh your skills, we’re here to share our passion with you, and we hope to inspire you to pick up that brush and get painting.
Each of us has a unique journey with painting, but one thing we all share is a deep love for the process of creating art with acrylics and oils. For some, it started with a casual dabble in the medium during school, while others found their true calling much later in life. What’s consistent across all of us is the joy that comes from watching a blank canvas transform into something full of life and expression.
Acrylics were the first love for some of us—fast-drying, flexible, and full of possibilities. The way the colours blend, the quick drying times that allow for layering, and the ability to experiment with so many techniques make acrylics a perfect choice for those who love to work quickly and boldly. On the other hand, there’s something about oil paints that speaks to another side of our creativity—the slow, meditative process that comes with working with oils. The rich, velvety texture, the way they allow for smooth blending, and the depth of colour they produce make oil painting an endlessly rewarding practice.
Whether it’s the vibrant, dynamic strokes of acrylic or the layered, atmospheric finishes of oils, both mediums have given us a sense of freedom that we want to share with you.
Our love for painting runs deep, and it’s something we feel passionately about sharing. Painting has taught us so much—not just about art, but about life. It’s about experimenting, failing, succeeding, and most importantly, enjoying the journey. We wanted to create a space where we could encourage others to experience the joy of painting, no matter their skill level. The world of acrylic and oil painting can seem a bit intimidating at first, but we promise, it’s worth diving into.
