This is a fun activity in Clapham, London
In this engaging painting workshop, you'll learn how to create a richly textured artwork using a variety of professional mixed media techniques. Throughout the session, you'll develop skills with acrylic paints, textured mediums, and gold leafing while crafting a unique canvas to take home.
This hands-on activity welcomes participants of all skill levels, requiring no previous art experience. The experimental approach encourages personal expression rather than technical perfection – perfect for both beginners and more experienced artists.
During the workshop, you'll begin by selecting your colour scheme – choosing between bold, vibrant colours or subtle, earthy tones based on your personal preference. You'll then experiment with various textured gels including black lava, glass bead, resin sand, and texture paste to add dimensional interest to your canvas. The creative experience is enhanced with a vegetarian antipasto platter to enjoy as you work, creating a truly immersive and relaxing artistic escape.
By the end of this inspiring workshop, you'll have created your own mesmerising mixed media artwork – a unique piece that combines colour, texture, and the elegant accent of gold leafing. The studio environment provides a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, offering both creative inspiration and positive surroundings.
Proceeds go towards our community art projects, providing mental well-being and creative health, especially for those facing barriers.
