During these sessions, you will learn how to paint an abstract painting on canvas. We'll begin by warming up with an abstract drawing using charcoal, and will then move on to learn about the different types of brushes, as well as how to mix acrylic paint or non toxic paint for children.

Sophie will teach you how to paint like a real artist! At the end of the class, you will be able to take home your first abstract acrylic painting. A small class is always important for in-depth learning, so there is a maximum of four participants…

Things to remember

Please wear your art clothes and shoes and bring an apron if you have one.

Had a lot of fun and made several pictures which we got to take home. Very proud! Perhaps a glass of fizz would have helped the mini exhibition at the end. Will keep painting : )

Sophie is an excellent teacher and incredibly knowledgeable. She provides support and guidance but also enables her students to pursue their own ideas and follow their own instincts. My class was a gift from a friend and I would fully recommend it to anyone - and may even gift it to someone else in the future!

Michelle Jackson - 10 December 2018

I took part in an abstract art class with Sophie and I couldn't recommend her lessons enough. As a beginner I was very nervous but Sophie is an attentive, warm teacher who gave me the confidence to explore and express myself through art. She is also very knowledgeable on different art forms. I'm already looking forward to my next lesson.

Sophie is an artist, primarily a painter she also works with ceramics, drawing, printmaking and digital media. She is a colourist with a keen interest in expressing herself and her experiences through bold colour and striking mark making. All of which can be seen in her abstract and figurative pieces, which often contain a deep emotional and imaginative content.

Sophie enjoys exploring daring contrasts in her work both aesthetically and psychologically. Sophie has always done people’s portraits and takes commissions and is happy working both from life and photography.
