Art Classes
A collection of creative workshops designed to help you explore painting, mixed media, and creative expression in a relaxed and supportive environment.
Abstract Painting & Mixed Media Workshops
Suitable for complete beginners as well as those with painting experience who would like to work more freely and confidently.
Spend three hours immersed in colour, texture, and creativity in a relaxed and welcoming painting workshop.
Working on canvas, you will explore colour, mark-making, layering, and texture, learning how to build a painting through a series of guided stages. Rather than following a step-by-step formula, you’ll be encouraged to respond to what is happening on the canvas, making creative decisions as the work develops.
The workshop is designed to help you loosen up, experiment, and discover new ways of working while learning practical painting techniques. By the end of the session, you will have created your own finished painting and gained a deeper understanding of how paintings evolve through process, revision, and exploration.
Along the way, I will share techniques developed through more than 30 years of working as an artist, helping you build confidence with acrylic paint while introducing a range of mixed-media materials, including paint pens, spray paint, and gold leaf. You’ll be encouraged to experiment, explore new approaches, and develop confidence in your own creative style and decision-making.
Expect a creative, mindful, and enjoyable experience where there is no right or wrong way to paint.
