More about Relaxing Through Abstracts

This workshop will introduce you to different ways of creating abstract art in response to your surroundings. We will explore the outdoors and beautiful grounds of Hawkwood but also use the sounds, smells and textures as inspiration. This will all be achieved through guided exercises and support from your tutor Christina.

No judgement will be placed on the outcome of your work. This day is centred on the enjoyment and relaxation that comes from creating
abstracts. There will be laughing as well as moments of calm and reflection. An enjoyable day creating whilst giving you the chance to unwind. Plus, lunch and afternoon tea are included—a real treat to unwind and forget your worries.

We will use a mixture of materials but acrylic paints and inks will be the main medium being used. You’ll learn various skills and techniques to continue painting abstracts at home. But above all, it’s a day to escape and take some time out for yourself.

As we will be venturing outside at some points please come with relevant clothing and footwear and something to sit on – even if it’s just a bag.
