Abstract Painting Class

Imagine painting in an artist’s studio, surrounded by inspiring artworks, flowers on the table, and relaxing background music — all while being guided by a practising artist to complete your piece.This isn’t your typical paint and sip session. In our studio, you’ll actually pick up a few abstract painting techniques along the way.

What Is Abstract Art? Abstract art focuses on expression, emotion, and experimentation rather than realistic representation. It’s all about colour, form, texture, and movement. Inspired by artists like Kandinsky, Rothko, and contemporary creators, this workshop explores the freedom and boldness of abstract composition. There’s no right or wrong — just pure creativity on canvas. You don't need to be good at drawing at all.

What You’ll Learn: How to create expressive abstract artwork using acrylics, gouache, chalk, pastels & gold foilLayering techniques, mark-making, and compositionHow to use colour and shapes to evoke emotion and movement.

What to Expect: You'll work from curated references and prompts, with plenty of freedom to experiment. We recommend bringing an abstract photo reference — something simple, especially if you're new to abstraction. There's no pressure to draw or follow exact lines. Everything is provided, so you can focus on layering and finding your flow.

This 2.5-hour creative workshop in London includes hands-on use of professional art materials in a friendly, energised studio. You'll be encouraged to explore, make bold choices, and build confidence in your own style.

Perfect for team building, a fun day out, or a thoughtful gift experience — this painting session is designed to inspire and refresh.
