2 Day | Saturday 12 – Sunday 13 September 2026
ABSTRACTION - FINDING THE NEW Wanting to explore the genre of abstraction? Join abstract painter Charlotte Ivey in a two day workshop that will empower your intuition, allowing you to more confidently articulate your own way of seeing. We'll start with exercises that shake loose old habits, freeing up thinking and risk-taking. Then, using image references from real life as prompts, we’ll explore composition, tone, and colour to create unique abstract paintings. Editing tricks will be provided to help you maximise your own problem-solving abilities. Repeat students will be provided with extension tasks and fresh reference imagery. This workshop is friendly to all levels of experience, for both acrylic and oil painters. All levels |
4 Day | Monday 14 – Thursday 17 September 2026
ABSTRACTION - FINDING YOUR STYLE Students are invited to bring a body of their past work (5-15 pieces) for this workshop for personal reference. This past work may be across any genre of painting (abstract or not) where some element of success or enthusiasm has been reached. Wanting a deep-dive into abstract artistry? Join painter Charlotte Ivey in this four day workshop that will empower your intuition, develop your confidence, and help you refine your vision as an independent artist. We'll start with exercises that shake loose old habits, freeing up thinking and risk-taking. Repeat students will be provided with extension tasks and fresh reference imagery. Then, using provided image references OR your past paintings (abstract or non-abstract) as prompts, we’ll explore composition, tone, and colour to create unique abstract paintings. Editing tricks will be provided to help you maximise your own problem-solving abilities. Repeat students will be provided with extension tasks and fresh reference imagery. As we build a body of work, we will delve deeper into independent decision-making. We'll discuss how to integrate new learning into existing portfolios of work, identifying emerging styles, themes, and creative roadblocks. This workshop aims to strengthen each student's individual practice- whether they continue in the genre of abstraction or not. Charlotte always aims to create a fun and supportive space where students can feel comfortable in experimenting. For both acrylic and oil painters. Intermediate/Experienced |
