Abstract Painting Weekend Course

Unleash your creativity on canvases of various sizes, from small to large, over the weekend in my private art studio in Brighton & Hove, Sussex, UK (only 1 hour from London).On the first day you will explore free-flowing, expressive, and experimental abstract painting on a small canvas. The painting experience will culminate into painting your own unique large canvas abstract piece which you will take home with you.We will paint intuitively! Spontaneously to the music, allowing the painting to evolve and reveal itself freely into an explosion of colours, patterns, marks, shapes, textures.We will get creative! Art has no limits. We will 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!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 a free-flowing creative state of freedom!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, pastels, chalk, spray paint etc) to free our inner artist and find our creative voice in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.Who is this weekend 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.This semi-private weekend abstract painting workshop is for beginners & aspiring artists, with a maximum of 3-4 participants to ensure plenty of 1:1 time with Magdalena.What to expect on the day?We start by getting to know each other, setting intentions and embodiment exercises (breath/ meditation) to help you ground, become more present, and open to the free-flowing creative state.Day 1: Through fun, guided group and individual creative painting practices on paper and a small canvas, we’ll explore a wide range of art materials, experiment with unconventional tools and try many abstract painting techniques, including layering, mark making, texture. All centred around experimentation. Have fun and let go… Delicious vegetarian lunch provided.Day 2: A full day dedicated to the development of your own intuitive abstract painting on a large canvas which you can take home at the end of the workshop.
