Beginner's Guide to Pointillism Art Class Reviews

4.6 Rating 40 Reviews
Read ClassBento UK Reviews

Discover the incredible effects that you can create with pointillism! This wonderful art technique uses tiny dots of various different colours to create an optical illusion where the dots blend in the viewer’s eye.  

Guided by one of our expert Hobbycraft Artisans, you will learn all about how to prepare your artwork and how to recreate this fascinating technique, invented by the artist Seurat. You can choose to follow along with your own materials or book with a craft kit included. 

Pointillism combines creativity and precision, but you’ll love watching the picture begin to appear. Learn how to build colour and vibrance by adding more of a specific colour of dots, keeping everything small and delicate as you produce your very own masterpiece. 

The class will take an online webinar format, giving you the opportunity to watch a live demonstration of the project while also being able to ask any questions. The host will lead you through different acrylic techniques over the course of two hours, taking you through the steps of mixing and layering your colours and adding depth to the piece.  

You’ll be shown all the steps required allowing you to paint along, or you can work on your piece at any pace you choose. You will also receive a how-to video which will be live for 12 months after the class to help guide you along in your own time.  

Simply select your chosen design from the dropdown menu to join the right workshop for you. You can choose from one Seurat-inspired piece, one Van Gogh-inspired piece and one created by our Hobbycraft Artisan.  

This workshop is also available as a private workshop for group bookings with craft kits of 5+.

An amazing introduction to Pointillism. Easy to follow, understand and to produce artwork during the online workshop. It’s the first time I have joined an online Hobbycraft session and the first time I have ever picked up a paintbrush. Highly recommend this online workshop and the follow-up advice and guidance received.

I enjoyed the workshop and chose to paint along with the tutor - the pace was about right for me. Complete beginners may find it better to watch the whole workshop first then have a go once they have the recording. I was very pleased with my results and will definitely try this technique on other projects.

Really good teacher, very knowledgeable, a history lesson of the paints whilst we painted was brillant, I have learnt a lot not just technique but the background. Also about famous artists and how they create their master pieces. Would definitely go to one of her classes again. Only thing i would like to be included in the pack is the tear and rip off pallette, this would have been a nice add on.
