"Surrender" Abstract Painting Workshop
Abstract art asks something different from us: bravery, acceptance, and the courage to let go of control.
This workshop is designed for anyone who wants to loosen up creatively, reconnect with their intuition, and learn how to create a stunning abstract painting that feels both personal and intentional.
Whether you’re a beginner or someone who hasn’t touched paint in years, this experience blends calm instruction, gentle guidance, and playful exploration. You’ll learn foundational colour theory, how to choose a cohesive palette, and simple composition techniques that make your artwork feel harmonious and full of life.
And the best part?
You’ll discover that sometimes the most beautiful things happen when you stop trying to get everything “right.”
What to Expect
This workshop is more instructional and hands-on. I’ll guide you step-by-step through:
Selecting a colour palette that feels cohesive and grounded
Understanding how colours interact and support each other
Learning the foundations of abstract composition
Building layers with intuition and play
Letting go, embracing “mistakes,” and trusting the process
Finishing your piece with clarity and confidence
You’ll create your own abstract artwork, something you can proudly hang at home or gift to someone special.
This isn’t just about painting, it’s about surrender, self-expression, and learning to enjoy the process without judgment.
Why Abstract Art?
Abstract painting while daunting is incredibly freeing.
It gives you permission to:
Release perfectionism
Let intuition lead
Explore new ideas without pressure
Play with colour, texture, and movement
Connect with creativity in a grounded, embodied way
There’s no “right” or “wrong” outcome, only expression, exploration, and joy. Usually it’s in those happy accidents that something incredible emerges.
What You’ll Walk Away With
✔ A finished canvas artwork on an A3 canvas board
✔ Skills in colour harmony + abstract composition
✔ Techniques you can repeat at home
✔ More confidence in your artistic intuition
✔ A relaxed, playful, creative experience
✔ A deeper sense of presence and openness
✔ And a renewed appreciation for your inner artist
