Abstract Painting Weekend Workshop: 19th & 20th July
Abstract Painting Weekend Workshop: 19th & 20th July
Unleash your creativity on canvases of various sizes, from small to large, over the weekend in my private art studio in Brighton & Hove, Sussex, UK (only 1 hour from London).
On the first day you will explore free-flowing, expressive, and experimental abstract painting on a small canvas. The painting experience will culminate into painting your own unique large canvas abstract piece which you will take home with you.
We will paint intuitively! Spontaneously to the music, allowing the painting to evolve and reveal itself freely into an explosion of colours, patterns, marks, shapes, textures.
We will get creative! Art has no limits. We will use every day tools: window squeegee, credit card, bubble wrap, fork, scraper, feather, chopstick, ANYTHING to get our imagination going! Suddenly the concept of “painting” expands!
We will free ourselves from limiting beliefs! This dynamic and creative free-flow painting style will move us through past fears, creative blocks and self-doubt into joy and a free-flowing creative state of freedom!
We will paint big! Big brush movements, a bold colour pallet, and even the fingers. The intention is to let go of any expectations.
We will get messy! This is not about making pretty things. It’s rare opportunity to let go of perfectionism and experiment with a wide range of art materials (acrylic, pastels, chalk, spray paint etc) to free our inner artist and find our creative voice in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Who is this weekend for?
It doesn’t matter if you’ve never painted before or you are a PRO! My painting workshop experience is a joy-filled, judgment-free zone! Everyone is welcome. Even those who think they aren’t creative or can’t paint or draw.
This semi-private weekend abstract painting workshop is for beginners & aspiring artists, with a maximum of 3-4 participants to ensure plenty of 1:1 time with Magdalena.
What to expect on the day?
We start by getting to know each other, setting intentions and embodiment exercises (breath/ meditation) to help you ground, become more present, and open to the free-flowing creative state.
Day 1: Through fun, guided group and individual creative painting practices on paper and a small canvas, we’ll explore a wide range of art materials, experiment with unconventional tools and try many abstract painting techniques, including layering, mark making, texture. All centred around experimentation. Have fun and let go… Delicious vegetarian lunch provided.
Day 2: A full day dedicated to the development of your own intuitive abstract painting on a large canvas which you can take home at the end of the workshop. Delicious vegetarian lunch provided.

hI, I'm mAGDALENA
I am an intuitive mixed-media abstract artist based in sunny Brighton (Hove actually) on a mission to help people like YOU to awaken their creativity.
I have years of experience to create and hold a safe space of self-expression, creativity and healing.
I spent years browsing art shops, buying supplies but never using them.
I spent years focusing on a corporate career, success, recognition and things that didn’t fill me with joy instead of making space for creativity.
Now, I feel incredibly lucky because I get to do things that makes me excited to wake up in the morning!
And . . .
I understand that it can be hard to make time for creativity.
That’s why I created PAINT with ME, the most experimental abstract painting workshops and courses in professional Brighton art studio where all art materials, large canvas and lunch is provided.
Looking forward to paint with you.
Magdalena
“I am still buzzing after the painting experience “if only my art teacher at school had been more like Magdalena!”. You have opened up my creative side (that I knew was hidden deep within). We are in now in the process of setting up an art space in the garage! Massive thank you for providing such a delightful, informative and inspiring workshop. Your technique and delivery puts the afraid, anxious and doubtful at ease. What a wonderful talent you have.”
Please note: This is not about creating beautiful art or being good at painting. It’s a way to express yourself, experiment with art materials while having fun. With abstract painting there is no right or wrong so you can’t make mistakes. Your hands will move intuitively, without thought. I will be there to inspire you and guid you. Together we will learn to let go, surrender and see what emerges in front of us. No previous experience is required.
Cancelation Policy: due to the nature of the workshop (art supplies and canvases purchased in advance, limited capacity in the professional art studio) I will not be able to offer a full refund once a purchase has been made for any reason. If you cancel and give me at least 4 weeks notice, you will receive a refund of 50% or a possibility to transfer your booking to another future event if there are spaces available. If you cancel after the 4 week cut-off date no refund can be issued. If the workshop is cancelled by the event organiser for any reason, either the workshop will be re-arrange or full refund will be offered based on the preference of the attendee.
