Building up layers of colour and texture.
How to embrace an abstract and experimental way of working.
You'll learn how to develop intuitive paintings while receiving 1:1 feedback. The workshop will also include plenty of tutor demonstrations and time for experimentation and play.
By the end of the days you will of created a small series of around 8 small paintings and will have an exciting new way of working to help you create dynamic and striking paintings.

‘I can’t recommend Laura’s cold wax and oil workshop highly enough. It’s a method I’ve been wanting to explore for some time . Her way of explaining the various mixing and layering techniques and her encouragement of intuitive, free and loose mark-making was exactly what I wanted. I’m now working on pieces at home and loving the process
