What you’ll learn

In all canvas painting workshops you’ll learn elements of the below to help you create abstract paintings.

People painting at a table with various paint tubes, brushes, palettes, and color swatches.
  • To begin the session we’ll explore colour theory to allow the participants to become familiar with acrylic paints.

Person painting with pink and white colors on a canvas using a palette knife, with paint tubes and reference images nearby.
  • The second step is to use the palette knives to create different paint application techniques.

  • Finally everyone will receive their own canvas to paint using the techniques which have been learnt.

  • 'I really enjoyed the painting session, I loved being creative and trying a new technique and using that as a mindfulness tool. The group had really lovely, helpful and candid conversations and it was nice to talk about grief in a less structured way as well. Having something to focus on at the same time as talking about difficult subjects helps. Megan was a great teacher, very encouraging.

  • I loved the mindful painting workshop that Megan did! It was so fun & relaxing and she created a lovely, welcoming space to connect with other people whilst creating art. It was great to play with the paints and experiment with the different techniques that we learnt about in the class and the whole workshop was a perfect evening to be mindful, relax and get creative. I would highly recommend!

  • Megan's mindful painting workshop was the most wonderful reminder of what it's like to find joy in slowing down and creating - not because it's productive but because it's joyful! Megan explained the painting techniques really simply and they were easy to pick up, she encouraged us to go wild and set our inner child free! A peaceful, liberating evening all round.
