Paint your own Large Abstract one day painting workshop: 19th May
Paint your own Large Abstract one day painting workshop: 19th May
This isn’t a typical painting adult art class in Brighton. This isn’t a “paint by numbers” class or “copy how I paint” approach.
In this workshop we will do things differently:
The main tool we will be using is not the brush. It’s our mind - free from limitations.
We will paint intuitively! Spontaneously to the music, allowing the paint to evolve and reveal itself freely into an explosion of colours, patterns, marks, shapes, texture on the canvas.
We will paint big! Big brush movements, a bold colour pallet and even the fingers. The intention is to let go of any expectations.
We will get messy! This is not about making pretty things. It’s rare opportunity to let go of perfectionism and experiment with a wide range of art materials (acrylic, watercolours, pastels, chalk etc) to free our inner artist and find our creative voice in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
We will get creative! Art has no limitations, we use every day tools: window squeegee, credit card, bubble wrap, fork, scraper, feather, chopstick, ANYTHING to get our imagination going! Suddenly the concept of “painting” expands! It’s a painting wonderland full of possibilities.
We will free ourselves from limiting beliefs! This dynamic and creative free-flow painting style will move us through past fears, creative blocks and self-doubt into joy and freedom!
We will express ourselves! By opening our mind and listening to our heart, we can express our soul without boundaries or judgments. While experimenting with painting, we will build a relationship with who we are, reconnect to our inner child and fully express ourselves including the wisdom that is forever inside us. There is such freedom and joy in this!
Who is this class for?
This is a safe space for anyone! Even those who think they aren’t creative or can’t paint or draw. Also, this is a great opportunity for creative types who haven’t picked up a paintbrush in a while but are longing to express themselves through art. We can play and feel like a kid again without worrying about the end result. Nobody will judge what we create together. We are all on a journey to find our inner artist.
The people who come to this class are from all walks of life: freelancers, entrepreneurs, website designers, yoga teachers, success coaches, parents….whatever! This could be fun and creative way to celebrate your birthday, anniversary or any other occasion (corporate team building) in Brighton, perfect gift idea too!
What to expect on the day?
Through fun, guided group and individual exercises we’ll explore wide range of art materials, experiment with an unconventional tools and try many abstract painting techniques including layering, mark making, texture.

“I loved this workshop. Magdalena sets up a warm, inviting, creative space. I like the balance in the day, the time to explore, experiment, and discover, as well as time to reflect, rest and contemplate. Magdalena gave me sensitive support and encouragement, coaching me forward in my own unfolding process. She has such care and generosity of spirit. And I loved all the nibbles, the array of coffee and teas, as well as the gentle social time enjoying a healthy lunch. The day acted as the spring board I needed. I now feel much more confident. I recommend this intuitive painting adventure!”

hI, I'm mAGDALENA
I am an intuitive mixed-media abstract artist based in sunny Brighton (Hove actually) on a mission to help people like YOU to awaken their creativity.
I have years of experience to create and hold a safe space of self-expression, creativity and healing.
I spent years browsing art shops, buying supplies but never using them.
I spent years focusing on a corporate career, success, recognition and things that didn’t fill me with joy instead of making space for creativity.
Now, I feel incredibly lucky because I get to do things that makes me excited to wake up in the morning!
And . . .
I understand that it can be hard to make time for creativity.
That’s why I created PAINT with ME, the most experimental abstract painting workshops and courses in professional Brighton art studio where all art materials, large canvas and lunch is provided. With years of experience I blend
Looking forward to paint with you.
Magdalena
“I am still buzzing after the painting experience “if only my art teacher at school had been more like Magdalena!”. You have opened up my creative side (that I knew was hidden deep within). We are in now in the process of setting up an art space in the garage! Massive thank you for providing such a delightful, informative and inspiring workshop. Your technique and delivery puts the afraid, anxious and doubtful at ease. What a wonderful talent you have.”
Please note: This is not about creating beautiful art or being good at painting. It’s a way to express yourself, experiment with art materials while having fun. With abstract painting there is no right or wrong so you can’t make mistakes. Your hands will move intuitively, without thought. I will be there to inspire you and guid you. Together we will learn to let go, surrender and see what emerges in front of us. No previous experience is required.
