PAINTING WORKSHOPS & CLASSES

image

Join me for a relaxed, inspiring and hands-on painting experience, where I share the techniques, materials and creative processes I use in my own studio practice as a professional artist. Based mainly at my Ditchling studio in Sussex, my painting workshops and classes are designed to help you build confidence, develop your skills and enjoy the creative process in a supportive and welcoming environment.

All sessions are suitable for beginners through to those with some painting experience. Whether you’re looking for a short creative introduction or the opportunity to immerse yourself more fully over several weeks, each format offers clear guidance, encouragement and time to explore your own expressive approach to painting.

All materials are provided unless otherwise stated, and group sizes are kept small to ensure plenty of individual guidance throughout.

Workshop & Class Format

These immersive sessions allow you to explore a subject or theme in greater depth. Working step by step, you’ll be guided through the full painting process, learning key acrylic techniques such as layering, texture, mark-making and colour harmony, while developing a completed artwork to take home.

Ideal if you’re new to acrylic painting or short on time, these relaxed sessions provide a gentle introduction to the medium. They’re also a popular way to experience my teaching style and techniques before committing to a longer workshop or class.

Held over four consecutive weeks, these classes offer the opportunity to slow down and fully immerse yourself in the painting process. Each course focuses on a single landscape theme, allowing time to build layers, refine composition and develop a more considered and confident final piece. This format is particularly suited to those wishing to deepen their understanding of tone, atmosphere and technique through sustained practice.

Delivered over four consecutive weeks, these courses are designed to allow abstract floral paintings to develop slowly and intentionally. With time for layers to dry naturally, techniques such as impasto and mark-making to be practised and refined, and space to build confidence, this format offers a richer and more relaxed learning experience than a one-day workshop, resulting in a beautifully resolved artwork to take home.

Whichever option you choose, you’ll be supported in a friendly, encouraging environment that makes painting enjoyable and accessible.
