Through a mix of demonstrations and experimentation, you'll learn a wide range of techniques, including:
Mixing a beautiful, rich palette from just a few colours
Using mediums for glazing and layering
Additive and reductive approaches to mark-making
Creating complex surface texture
Understanding the elements and principles of abstract art (explained in simple, friendly terms)
Helen will guide you in exploring the creative power of play—an essential but often neglected part of art-making. You'll finish the day with new skills, a deeper understanding of acrylic, and your very own abstract painting to take home.
Helen’s teaching style is relaxed, generous, and supportive, and everything she shares comes from her own studio practice.
All materials provided. No experience necessary. Just bring your curiosity—and wear old clothes!
