Guess what? You don’t need an art degree to paint intuitive abstracts with me.
In fact, it’s even easier and more fun if you don’t have one!
That’s because intuitive painting it’s all about letting-go of how you “should" be painting. It about being open to the unexpected, exploring, experimenting and expressing yourself in the most authentic way with colour, shapes and texture.
Instead of sticking to a plan, let the breath, intuition, inner wisdom, trust and curiosity guide your brush rather than the thinking mind.
If that sounds like your kind of thing then make space in your calendar and paint with me this autumn season in Brighton art studio.
I’m running my most popular (beginner friendly) one-day large abstract painting workshops for adults in the professional Lawrence Art Studio in Brighton & Hove (only 1 hour from London).
You will let go of perfectionism by resisting the urge to paint “pretty” or “perfect” or “easy”…. you’ll have a full permission to be free, spontaneous, brave and messy.
You will discover the intuitive abstract mark-making, texture making and layering process (no artistic experience is necessary).
You will express yourself with colours, shapes and texture and create a piece of abstract artwork on a small canvas that reflects your innermost feelings.
Unique opportunity to experiment with different mixed media art materials: acrylic, spray paint, gesso and watercolour paint, pastels, charcoal and other art materials.
Best of all, you'll take home your own one-of the kind abstract artwork on large canvas made by you!
If the sound of the large canvas makes you feel anxious or overwhelm, then come and paint with me smaller scale. I’m running introduction to intuitive abstract painting on small canvas and art journaling workshop too. Click here to view all my upcoming workshops.
Who is this painting workshops for?
It doesn’t matter if you’ve never painted before or you are a PRO! My painting workshop experience is a joy-filled, judgment-free zone! Everyone is welcome. 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 in Brighton.
What to expect on the day?
We start with getting to know each other, setting intention and embodiment exercises (breath or meditation) to help you ground, become more present and open to the free-flowing creative state.
Through fun, guided group and individual creative painting practice, we’ll explore wide range of art materials, experiment with an unconventional tools and try many abstract painting techniques including layering, mark making, texture. All centred around experimentation, fun and letting go…
After a delicious vegetarian lunch together, you will have time to develop your own intuitive painting on large canvas which you will take home with you at the end of the workshop.
hI, I'm magdalena
It wasn’t until in my early thirties that I left my prestigious finance job (burned out) that I opened the dusty box full of art materials and reconnected with painting again.
I am visual artist: professional photographer, videographer and abstract painter based in sunny Brighton (Hove actually) and I run the most beginners friendly, experimental abstract painting workshops in professional art studio.
