School year 7+ TikTok inspired Halloween Ghost painting workshop

Are you ready to join one of TikTok’s spookiest art trends? In this workshop, participants will turn ordinary, thrifted paintings into ghostly masterpieces—just like the viral “thrifted ghost painting” artworks popping up all over social media.



We’ll start by selecting a second hand or low-cost print or canvas. Then, you’ll layer cute or creepy ghost figures on top—blending in with the original artwork, adding atmosphere, glow, and that haunting aesthetic everyone’s talking about. You’ll explore creative techniques using acrylics, pens, blending, shading, and texture to make your ghost look like it’s part of the scene.



No advanced painting skills required—this is for anyone who loves Halloween, upcycling art, and making something uniquely spooky. By the end, you will take home a finished “ghosted” painting ready to display, gift, or share online (of course).
