Bold - Expressive Florals - art workshop for beginners

Overview

This workshop for absolute beginners isn’t about painting flowers realistically — it’s about interpretation, experimentation, and discovering your own visual language.

In this 3‑hour workshop we will:

• Explore loose, playful drawing
• Dive into expressive colour using paints and pastels
• Look at simple ways to build floral compositions
• Create a totally original flower painting that reflects your unique creative style

You’ll leave with a whole toolkit of art‑making knowledge you can return to again and again as you develop your own work.

Join me, Prith B, for this in person workshop — ‘Expressive Florals.’

This workshop is all about freeing yourself from perfection. We won’t be trying to replicate flowers petal‑for‑petal — instead, we’ll use them as a joyful starting point for mark‑making, colour play, and imaginative interpretation.

Flowers don’t have to be delicate or precise. They can be bold, abstract, messy, vibrant — whatever feels true to you. We’ll enjoy the shapes, colours, and rhythms found in simple floral arrangements and turn them into lively, expressive artworks.

You’ll walk away with a painting that feels completely your own.

So what will we do?

The session is broken into guided sections that build towards your final painting in the last hour.

We’ll explore:

• Simple drawing techniques to loosen up
• How to break down flowers into simple shapes and lines
• Approaches to colour that bring energy and emotion
• Composition ideas that help your painting feel balanced and dynamic

By the end, you’ll have a finished floral painting you’re proud of — plus a bundle of sketches that each tell their own story.

Places are limited to just 7 people so I can give you my full attention.
