1.5 hours Class size 1 to 4 guests       £65 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Step away from the pressure of getting it “right” and discover the joy of painting in this expressive art session at Wimbledon Art Studios. In this workshop, you will learn how to paint freely in your own style, with light guidance and simple techniques to help your work take shape and build your confidence.
This activity is ideal for beginners, returning creatives, or anyone looking for a soulful, freeing experience with art. You’ll explore colour, movement, layering, and texture in a relaxed, supportive environment. Instead of a technical, follow-along class, you’ll be encouraged to connect with your own memories, moods, and emotions – turning them into expressive marks and colour stories on canvas or paper.
Your teacher, Nina Marlowe, is an exhibiting artist who creates a warm, pressure-free space for people to connect with their creativity. Working from her inspiring base at Wimbledon Art Studios, she provides personal attention in a calm, welcoming setting. You will learn simple techniques to loosen up and trust your instincts, allowing you to explore painting as a form of personal expression.
By the end of the session, you will have created a unique artwork that reflects your own creative voice. This experience is designed to leave you feeling more confident, relaxed, and creatively refreshed, with a new-found freedom in your approach to art.

About Me
I’m a London-based artist working from Wimbledon Art Studios. My creative journey began behind the lens—as a photographer, and expanded into painting when I attained a BA in Fine Art.
My fascination with light, movement, and emotional atmosphere carries through into my painting practice, where I’ve developed an expressive and intuitive approach and my aim is help you create unique art that expresses your own creative voice.
Today, I work primarily in oils and acrylics—often combining both. My background in photography still informs my approach: I’m drawn to fleeting moments, and the energy of people in motion and the emotional rhythm of urban and coastal environments.
I’ve exhibited widely and my work is held in private collections across the UK and as far afield as Australia. I’m passionate about the expressive power of art—not just as a finished piece, but as a joyful, intuitive process anyone can explore.
My painting classes are relaxed, inclusive, and designed for total beginners as well as those curious to reconnect with their creativity. Whether you’re coming solo, with a partner, or as part of a group, I’ll guide you through a no-pressure session in my working artist’s studio in Wimbledon.
