Painting Workshops in Bristol
A couple of hours just for you.
My workshops aren't about creating the perfect painting. They're about slowing down, switching off from the busyness of life and giving yourself permission to create.
Whether you've never picked up a paintbrush before or haven't painted for years, you'll be warmly welcomed. I'll guide you every step of the way, and by the end you'll leave with a painting that's uniquely yours.

What to Expect
Each workshop includes:
-
Step-by-step guidance
-
Demonstrations and creative prompts
-
Acrylic painting techniques
-
Loose florals and intuitive layering
-
Time to experiment and make the piece your own
-
A relaxed, supportive atmosphere
You’ll leave with your own finished artwork and, hopefully, feeling creatively recharged.
