When people hear the words Acrylic Painting Classes, many think of quiet rooms, serious teachers, and strict rules. That puts a lot of people off. But painting, especially with acrylics, is nothing like that. At Art Adventures, painting is fun, colourful, and open to everyone. Kids come to us as they enjoy it, teenagers use it to express themselves and gain a new skill while adults goes for as it helps them in relaxation.

But there are some myths that stop people from joining. Let’s look at the most common ones.
Myth 1: Acrylic painting is only for beginners
Some people think acrylics are just “starter paints.” That’s not true.
Acrylics are very flexible. They can look soft, like watercolours. They can also look thick and bold, like oil paints. You can use them on paper, canvas, wood, or even fabric. Many professional artists use acrylics all the time.
At Art Adventures, we teach simple steps for beginners, but we also show harder techniques for those who want to go further.
Truth: Acrylics are not just for beginners. They are for everyone.
Myth 2: You need talent to paint
Lots of people say, “I can’t even draw a stick man.” They think they were not born with talent, so art is not for them.
But nobody is born knowing how to paint. Like cooking or riding a bike, you learn by doing. Step by step, you get better.
In our classes, children learn fast, teenagers find their own style, and adults often surprise themselves with what they can do.
Truth: You don’t need talent. You just need to start.
Myth 3: Acrylic painting is too messy
Parents often worry about mess. But acrylics are actually very easy to handle.
They wash off with soap and water.
They dry quickly, so less smudging.
They don’t stain like other paints.
We also show simple ways to keep things neat, so both kids and adults can enjoy painting without stress.
Truth: Acrylics are easy to clean and family-friendly.
Myth 4: Painting classes are boring
Some imagine sitting in silence, painting fruit in a bowl. But our classes are nothing like that.
At Art Adventures, classes are lively and creative. We teach skills like mixing colours and using brushes, but we also let you paint what you like. Sunsets, animals, abstract colours—you choose. And we don’t stop at acrylics. We also do:

Myth 5: It’s too late to start
We have a lot of students who says that they are in the “right age”. Well, there is no age thing when it comes to art and painting. We had so many beginners in their 50s, 60s, and 70s, and they love it.Children get creative skills early on, teenagers use art to express themselves, and adults often find it the perfect way to relax. At Art Adventures, we work on: Children’s classes to spark imagination.
