Workshop Structure

Students will discover a new rich textural language to use in their mixed-media drawings and paintings that add interest and intrigue. Learn how to create mixed-media relief tactile surfaces using acrylic paints combined with some surprising everyday materials to create artworks that explore a variety of themes –  landscape, still life or figurative. All techniques are demonstrated before students have a chance to try it out.  

Paint personality

Explore and experiment with different consistencies of acrylic paint learning how it behaves when painted over a variety of surfaces.  Students will learn how to create textures using a variety of materials such as acrylics, emulsion, glues, collage, inks, while using techniques such as layering, sgraffito, and additive/subtractive paint application to create stunning looking mixed-media textures.

Focus on relief textures

Texture is a key component of composition, along with colour, tone, shape, etc. and needs to be used in a considered way to be effective.  Students will work on creating their own textured artwork on paper, with inspiration from a variety of contemporary artists.   

3D relief textures

Learn techniques to create high relief 3D texture techniques using cardboard, moulds, and print methods.

Personally expressive textures

Explore using the techniques learnt over the workshop to create a mixed-media artwork in a style of their own choice. Students have time to explore the use of textures within imaginative landscape, still life or figurative themes.

By the end of the course…

Students will go home with a wealth of ideas and techniques, and the skills to add texture into their mixed-media artwork no matter what style they work in at home – abstract or realist, or somewhere in between.

  • What level course is right for me?

    To help you answer the question,

    “What level course is right for me?”

    To help you decide what level course is most suited, you will see Teaching Levels explained within the Course Info tab.

    Students will always benefit from clear instructions, lots of one-to-one tuition, guidance and supportive encouragement on all of my courses.

    Level 0: Absolute-beginner 
    For absolute-beginners to start learning art for the first time. Teaching focuses on core skills with step-by-step instructions.

    Level 1: Beginner
    For beginners looking to establish, refresh and gain confidence in fundamental core techniques.

    Level 2: Improver
    For improvers who already have the basics and wish to develop and enhance their skills and techniques further.

    Level 3: Intermediate
    For those students with a growing, but limited, amount of art experience who feel confident in their art knowledge and skills yet recognise the need for further creative learning to take their art to the next level.

    Level 4: Experienced
    For those students with creative experience who feel confident in their abilities and techniques, who are looking to challenge themselves further, to create a coherent body of work, possibly to exhibit and sell. 

  • What course should I do next?

    To help you answer the question,

    “What course should I do next?”

    There are 2 approaches to deciding what to do next.

    1. Treat my courses as a Mix + Match Patchwork
      All my courses can be booked as single stand-alone courses on whichever topic takes your interest.
      Just book whichever course you want when it suits you.
    2. Choose one of the linked courses at the bottom of this page
      These courses are suggestions that will help you develop and progress your art in a more focused direction.

    Whichever approach you choose, remember to check the Teaching Levels to decide if the course is appropriate for you. Contact me if you’re not sure and I’ll be happy to help.
