• Safety in the studio is always our top priority. However, Artify Studio will not be held liable or responsible for any accidents that happen on our premises.

• What if we can’t draw? Will the instructors help us?
  If you have no prior experience, don’t worry! Instructors are there to provide guidance. They will not help you draw, but rather give you the tips and tricks to help you achieve what you want.
   
• Can we bring our own image to paint?
  For teaching and learning purposes, we will provide the reference images that will best allow you to execute the techniques taught. After learning the techniques, you can apply it to your subsequent paintings!
   
• Can we bring our child/children along?
  Sorry, for the consideration of other art jammers we do not allow children during workshop unless they are a paid participant of suitable age. Do check our children’s site for our dedicated children programmes.
   
• Can we bring my own food and drinks?
  Drinks, yes but food, no. As of 1 May 2021, due to the community cases, we have stopped consumption of food in the studio. Drinks are okay but masks have to be worn immediately after. Do ensure that your mask covers both your nose and mouth.
   
• Do you have bathrooms in the studio?
  Yup, we have do! At #08 we have two bathrooms while #12 has one.
   
• What if our painting does not dry in time?
  The power of hair dryers will help quicken the drying process!
   
• Can we bring home our painting?
  Why, of course!! Your hard work and effort is evident in the masterpiece you create and we want you to proudly bring back your creation.
   
• How do we bring back our painting?
  Don’t fret! We’ve got it all covered - a plastic carrier is provided.
   
• How do we hang our painting at home?
  You can use 3M Command 17206Blk Black Large Picture Hanging Strips or seek for advise in a store before purchasing. We do not sell the strips. Purchase will need to be done elsewhere.
   
• What is acrylic paint?
  Acrylic paint is a fast-drying paint made of pigment suspended in acrylic polymer emulsion. They are water-soluble, but become water-resistant when dry. So in a sense, you could say that it’s water-proof!
   
• What is the difference between acrylic paints and oil paints?
  When it comes to colour, oil paints have more pigment in them, allowing richer, more vivid colours. Acrylics may also darken slightly as they dry, while oil paints do not. The main difference between oils and acrylics is drying time. Acrylic paint will dry within an hour, if not within fifteen minutes. Oil paintings normally take around a few days to even a few weeks to dry, sometimes even 6 months!
   
• What happens if acrylic paint gets on my clothes?
  Quick! Wash it immediately but it might stain your clothes, depending on the type of fabric. There will be stains for denim and cotton. We recommend you to either wear clothes you don’t mind getting paint on, or bring a change of clothes.
   
• Do we need to varnish our painting?
  It is not necessary to do so. If you would like to do so, you can head over to Art Friend.
