Painting Workshops in East Sussex
Learn the techniques I use in my work as a professional artist, in a relaxed and inspiring setting.
I offer a range of studio-based workshops, from expressive morning sessions to more immersive afternoon landscape workshops, as well as seasonal landscape painting courses. Alongside this, I run full-day, stylised, process-led painting workshops aguest venues.
Studio Workshops (Ditchling Studio)
Held at my studio at Turner Dumbrell Workshops in Ditchling, East Sussex, these sessions are designed to be accessible, immersive, and supportive, with small group sizes allowing for plenty of one-to-one guidance.
Florals & stylised landscapes
Process-led workshops exploring my signature expressive style.
These Morning Workshops explore my signature expressive themes, Meadow Alchemy, Painterly Wildflower and Expressive Meadow Landscape, guiding you through key stages of the painting process while building confidence with colour, texture and composition, using acrylics on board
Atmospheric, organic landscapes
These longer Full Afternoon Workshops focus on developing a more natural, atmospheric approach to landscape painting.
Inspired by light, depth and the changing countryside, you’ll learn how to build a layered landscape using acrylic techniques that reflect my own studio practice.
Structured, multi-week courses exploring landscape painting through seasonal compositions
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 piece. This format is particularly suited to those wishing to deepen their understanding of tone, atmosphere and technique through sustained practice.
Process-led Stylised Landscapes, Florals & Forests
These immersive, process-led workshops 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.
Full Day Workshops are taught in my stylised signature themes: Abstract Floral, Contemporary Floral, Meadow Landscape and Abstract Forest — each designed to help you understand structure, composition and expressive technique through a clear, guided process.
