Our learners in the Painting Department have been working hard creating geometric paint effects, developing their taping, measuring, and painting skills along the way 🎨👷🏻‍♀️👷‍♂️

Our learners have been hard at work over the past few weeks in the Painting department!

They have been developing their skills in geometric painting, learning how to accurately measure, mark out and create eye catching designs using masking tape and professional painting techniques.

Throughout the project, learners have gained hands on experience in surface preparation, taping, cutting in, applying paint evenly, and achieving clean, sharp lines. It’s been fantastic to see their confidence, creativity and attention to detail grow with each session.

Well done to everyone involved the results speak for themselves! 👏🎨

Our learners have been hard at work today developing their painting skills! 🎨

Today’s session focused on learning how to correctly cut in around edges and corners, as well as using the appropriate tools for the job, including rollers and brushes. Learners practised applying paint evenly, improving their technique, and gaining confidence in using the equipment safely and effectively.

Well done to everyone involved for their effort and commitment to learning new skills! 👏
