Get lost in the corridors and gallery spaces – one treat is Dippy the dino, who despite recently going on tour still makes an appearance in the entrance hall in this interactive online guide.

Artist Of The Week by We Love Art

The best part of WLA is watching our Artlovers unleash their inner artists and leave us speechless. So it is time to show off what our community is creating all around the world.

Ayesha Ahmed

Meet our Artist of The Week, Ayesha Ahmed. She is one of our most enthusiastic ArtLovers and recently joined the Level 1 Course!

She first started her journey with We Love Art through a Paint & Grape session in December 2020 when she realized she wanted to make her creative spirit alive again.

We are extremely proud of what she’s created so far! Thank you Ayesha for being part of the wonderful We Love Art community.

The Experience

My journey with We Love Art has been an absolute delight! It started with a paint and grape session in December 2020 when I realized I had been putting my creative side on the back burner and the 3 hours I spent at the session triggered them to come out! It was just then I had learned that we love art gives painting lessons for all levels. It was a no brainer, I had to go for it.

Every week brings out excitement, undiscovered skills and sparking curiosity at the same time thanks to our incredible teachers. Denise, Emma and Shadi bring out the best in everyone. So grateful for it and Absolutely LOVING every minute of it. It’s just the beginning and I look forward to continuing this journey!

ArtLovers Quote Of The Week

“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.”

We Love Art Painting of The Week

Regarded as the best palette knife and oil painting maestro, Russian–Israeli artist Leonid Afremov is one of the most unique artists working today. Known for his individualistic style and unconventional approach to showcasing his work to the public through his Impasto technique.

Balloon Festival is one of the most original oil painting seascapes because you do not look at the sea here. You look at the sky because you can’t take your eyes away.
