‘Abstract Floral’ One Day Painting Workshop

Come and join me for a fun filled day of learning how to create a beautiful abstract floral painting, where I’ll be teaching the methods and techniques that I use in my work as a professional artist.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a finished painting — a striking textured wildflower composition layered with colour, light and shimmering metallic detail.

We will be working with acrylics on board, and I will be teaching an impasto technique to create textured wild flowers, building up layers of colour with acrylics, and adding an infusion of texture and metallic highlights to our composition, a feature which has become synonymous with my work.

There’s hardly any brushwork in this workshop – instead, we’ll explore a variety of tools and materials, including silicone spatulas, credit cards, masking fluid, gutta (a water-based metallic liner), and metallic rubs. You’ll discover how to create a composition through many different layers, each adding depth, texture, and interest, while experimenting with engaging and unusual techniques that result in a striking piece.
