Mixed Media Art - Summer Course

Explore the satisfying art of mixed media in this four-week art course in London – a chance to experiment freely across materials, build up layers, and develop a way of working that feels distinctly your own.Mixed media is all about combination: acrylic and watercolour alongside collage, fabric, textured materials, and handwritten text, brought together to create work with real depth and meaning. The course gives you the tools and the space to explore how these elements interact, with a supportive studio environment that encourages curiosity over perfection.The first two weeks focus on getting comfortable with the materials. You'll explore mark-making, collage, and layering basics, then start building texture and composition through impasto techniques, overlapping surfaces, and hands-on experimentation. By the midpoint, you'll have a strong feel for how different media work together.Weeks three and four shift toward personal expression – developing your own themes and visual storytelling using references, imagery, and text. It all builds toward a final layered artwork that reflects your creative journey through the course, rounded off with a group reflection session to share and celebrate what everyone's made.No two finished pieces will look the same, and that's exactly the point. By the end of the four weeks, you'll have created something genuinely one-of-a-kind – and discovered a way of making that you can keep exploring long after the course wraps up.
