Description:

Across three days, participants will explore how to create large-scale blooming floral artworks through design, painting, drawing, floral styling and mixed media techniques. Using collage, painting and layered mixed media processes, the workshop encourages experimentation with colour, texture and composition while developing expressive abstract floral imagery inspired by observational references and creative play.

Building on techniques introduced throughout the course, participants will combine drawing, collage and paint to develop a final abstract floral artwork in a supportive studio environment. The workshop encourages intuitive making, personal interpretation and confidence in working across mixed media processes.

Materials Provided: All materials provided.
