Upcoming Abstract Painting Workshops with Lumina Arts Alliance
I'm delighted to announce that I will be running a series of Abstract Painting Workshops throughout November, December 2025 & January 2026 on behalf of Lumina Arts Alliance.
Join me at one of my immersive workshops to experiment with colour, texture and design while learning about mixed media and abstract painting techniques. These bold, hands-on sessions combine the freedom to explore creatively with the tuition and guidance you need to gain confidence. At the end of the session you will walk away with a set of 6 cohesive mini abstracts paintings which are completely "you" and tuned in to your authentic creative voice.
At just £10 with the code CREATIVE it is no wonder that some sessions are already fully booked! Don't delay, secure your spot today by clicking the button below.
About The Workshop
This workshop gives you the full experience of working as an abstract painter. You’ll experiment with different tools and materials, from brushes and palette knives to sponges and everyday objects, learning how each changes the surface and mood of your work. You’ll also explore colour layering and texture so your paintings feel bold and expressive, not flat or predictable.
After a short introduction to abstract theory and inspiration, it’s completely hands-on. You’ll create six mini studies, using different techniques and materials, testing and seeing how every change affects the outcome.
Working alongside other participants, you’ll share ideas and approaches while building confidence in your own creative choices. By the end, you will have six mini abstracts, and you’ll take home a finished piece that proves your creative voice, ready to display or add to your portfolio.
