This freestyle class is designed to ignite creativity and self-expression, allowing you to break free from traditional step-by-step instruction. Instead, you're encouraged to follow your own artistic instincts. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, you'll have the opportunity to explore different techniques and materials at your own pace in a relaxed environment. It's all about embracing spontaneity, having fun, and discovering your unique style without the constraints of a structured lesson. In a still life drawing session, you'll develop key skills such as careful observation of shapes, textures, and colours, mastering composition to create balanced arrangements, and understanding proportions, scale, and perspective for accurate depictions. You'll also learn to work with light and shadow to give your drawings a three-dimensional effect, practice shading techniques like hatching and blending for realism, and explore ways to represent texture. Through tonal values, you'll enhance contrast and depth, while experimenting with various mediums like pencil, charcoal, and pastel to achieve different effects. This class also fosters patience and attention to detail as you capture intricate elements and encourages creative interpretation to infuse your personal style. Along the way, you'll develop problem-solving skills to overcome challenges and refine your technique. Altogether, this experience offers a fun, creative outlet while building a strong foundation for any artistic pursuit.

Alma T. Painting Workshop

Introduction to Watercolour Painting. Birds of Paradise Study/Workshop. 

Carrie Morris

I really enjoyed this class and the venue is quite relaxing and cosy. Alma gave us so much positive feedback and encouragement and we learnt lots of amazing techniques. A fantastic evening that I cannot recommend enough.

Ro Bozzanga

I never painted before but within two hours I have learned how to use a palette knife, perspective and choose complementary colours to make a professional painting. I cannot recommend enough Alma's class; starting from a very cosy environment, good music and drinks. Alma is very patient and approachable.  I wish I could upload my finished painting here because seriously, what you'll learn here is good stuff.


Introduction to Watercolour Painting: Birds of Paradise Study. (30%OFF LIMITED OFFER. CODE: ALMA30)

Rom Diaz

I had a chance to attend Alma's Birds of Paradise class for a couple of hours. Alma has helped us understand how to start properly with watercolours, she taught us how to choose the right materials, brands, and surfaces. I really enjoyed the floral exercise as well before starting the main piece. This class exceeded my expectations. I'm coming back.

Introduction to Watercolour Painting: Birds of Paradise Study

This class was great and have already recommended it to other friends. Myself and 3 other family members went with varying watercolor and artistic experience. Alma put everyone at ease straight away and taught us the basics, letting us have a practice before starting the birds of paradise piece. She is a great teacher and was able to spend time helping us individually to improve our technique but also give hints and tips to the whole group. Very talented artist and teacher. The only downside about the class was it wasn't long enough! Would love to go back and do another class! 
Thank you Alma for a lovely time! 

Ariel Kendall

Alma’s class was amazing, she was knowledgeable and an excellent mentor. We came with self taught skills in watercolor and guided us through various techniques, advising us how to improve and get the most out of our art styles. Overall, learned a lot, the atmosphere was calming and wholesome, Alma was a wonderful teacher and I recommend this experience 11/10

Shazia

Alma’s class was absolutely amazing! She thoroughly went through watercolour techniques before we went on to the final piece. Her studio is relaxing and comfortable and Alma is such a friendly person. I have come away learning some new skills that I cannot wait to put into practice. I have already booked my next class with her! Highly recommend to anyone with a creative flair.

Chloe

Really enjoyed the class with Alma, she’s a good teacher! I took away several tips and tricks to help improve my watercolour painting skills, and with it being a small class, Alma could spend 1-on-1 time with all us and answer any questions we had. The fact I got to take home a finished piece with a wall mount was great! Would love to do a class focused on landscape/scenes in freestyle

Maya Bischoff

Alma is a talented artist and an incredibly generous teacher- probably the most generous I’ve ever met! She wants you to succeed and gives her all to achieve this. I love the balance between demonstration & guidance and creative freedom in her classes, her kind and fun approach and the safe, lovely atmosphere she creates. Please do not miss this!

George

Absolutely loved the watercolour class.  Alma is an amazing and inspiring  tutor - such a relaxing and creative afternoon.  About to book the acrylic class! 

Anviksha Patel

Alma was a wonderful teacher and gave a brilliant introduction to watercolour painting. She went through all the best paints, paper, types of brushes to use as well as brush strokes and water control. 
I'd done a bit of watercolours before and was blown away with all the tips she gave.  She really let us use our imagination and just paint how we wanted to after giving us some structure. Would bring my friends along to another class for sure!
My only downside was I had to travel home in the terrible weather and I lived on the other side of London so was long to get to!


Saskia Delacave

We absolutely loved this watercolour class. Alma was so kind, a brilliant teacher, and we felt a real sense of achievement at the end. Alma’s studio is gorgeous and we were able to relax amongst her art, and Alma even mounted our paintings to take home which was a special surprise. Would very much recommend! 

Stefania Masin

Fun and cosy watercolour class. We learned a lot of useful tips and walked out with our first (framed!) watercolour artwork. Alma is un excellent teacher and very entertaining. The time really flew by! 

Emma Hill

This was a delightful class, Alma was fantastic and created a really welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. 2 hours flew by creating our paintings! We learnt the basics of watercolour which I’d never been taught despite painting plenty in the past and she shared lots of useful advice on various mediums. I’m delighted by the finished result which was mounted to take home and will make a great gift…

CECILIA TAYLORTaylor 

I’ve had a lovely time at Almas workshop. Thanks Alma for the tips you gave us and for organising the event. 

Annika Marlette

Very good class. Learned about different paints and papers as well as some basic watercolor techniques.

Gosia  Pietniewicz

Loved the class. Nice small studio, Alma was very nice. I learned new techniques and had a relaxing experience. I'll book a class with her again.

Glenis Parris-Daley

I attended the watercolour painting class with Alma, it was a great experience.  She was so very warm and patient with me as I have never done this before.
I would differently be attending another of her classes.
Keep up the great work Alma.

Ricki

The workshop was amazing no other words for it! I have learned technics, and although I paint quite often with water colours, Alma introduced me to different techniques and organised the way I work. 
Also I have to add her and Roland are so welcoming and have an amazing vibe!  
Thanks for this experience!

🌼❤️🌼

Cheryl

I cannot recommend Alma more! She is so talented and patient with her students and you can tell she genuinely cares and wants you to enjoy the class as much as she does. Her studio in SW is so lovely as well and she provides everything you need. I will definitely be going back to more of her classes. 

Alice

Alma is a brilliant teacher who immediately put me at ease with her welcoming and friendly nature. Her studio has a lovely relaxing vibe and the evening flew by in the best way possible! After a great introduction to our tools and some simple instructions we were all able to create pictures we were really pleased with. Alma is so encouraging and was always on hand to offer advice throughout the session. I would definitely recommend - it such a fun evening!

Antonia Horak

I would absolutely recommend this class to anyone. You will receive great advice and Alma's full attention while working on your painting. I enjoyed the clam atmosphere and the fact that only a limited number of people can participate. In the end I had to leave earlier and Alma gave me colours to finish my painting at home. Really happy with the whole experience. As someone who didn't paint for years, I found the class easy to follow and feel more confident to start painting again.  

Emma Bagguley

Fabulous class! Alma was so friendly and welcoming. She patiently showed us the basics and helped us create lovely paintings by the end. Time flew, it was so relaxing! Highly recommend. 

fatma Alhajri

I enjoyed the workshop, it was about the experience of watercolors, and the goal was to prevent all participants from enjoying coloring the drawing in their own style, with the technique of trainer alma

Payal Chordia

Alma was very patient and made sure I got the most of the session. I was quite slow compared to others but Alma waited till I finished my painting and helped me with the technicalities without rushing me. I thoroughly enjoyed the class.

ulkugul woods

A chilled class in a beautiful art studio. While learning water colour techniques you could take away your art piece (half framed!) with you. I didn’t notice  how the time passed. A special thanks to Alma, I’m definitely coming back for more 

Sita Kenyon

What a lovely way to spend an afternoon! Alma was a brilliant teacher,  very patient and encouraging. Alma kindly allowed us all to stay after the class had finished so we could finish our pieces, she really went the extra mile to make sure we got as much out of the class as possible. I would really recommend Alma's classes. 

Masume  Hidayatullah 

Great evening and excellent instruction from Alma. 

A little pricey given theres no wine or savoury nibbles included on a course running through dinner time, and would like to see a lower cost charged for the current format

Mary O'Neill

I really enjoyed the watecolours workshop.  The studio is lovely and Alma is an excellent host and teacher.  I would really recommend any classes she runs without hesitation.  A very relaxing way to learn new techniques and skills.

Paula Forzani

I really enjoyed the painting class! The studio is lovely and the atmosphere is great. Had a very relaxing evening learning how to paint! Alma was very approachable, teaching us step by step and very patient! Will definitely come back for another session.

Breanna Lynch

It was fantastic, really helpful tips! Very relaxed, good for all abilities! 

Jennifer Townson

Great fun afternoon, in a cozy comfortable studio.  Alma was really good at setting out some basic watercolour technique and helping us try out different colour application.  I've been inspired to get some tube watercolours....!

Catherine Samy

i had such a wonderful afternoon. having never used water colour before the learning was great but Alma also creates a relaxed and non judgemental atmosphere which is so positive. loved it.  And the coffee was good too!

Sky  Lewis

I had a great time at Alma’s class! She’s a fab teacher and it was a really relaxing experience. Would definitely do it again!

Mark Jackson

Great introduction to watercolours! Great progression from absolutely basics to finishing by painting a piece to be proud of. Would recommend to anyone who wants to give watercolours a go! Alma is very approachable and welcoming. 

Lily Earle

I had the most wonderful evening at Alma's beautiful studio learning a new skill that I had always wanted to learn. Alma is a fantastic, warm and encouraging teacher who explains and demonstrates the techniques needed to create a first watercolour to be proud of!  The calming and freeing environment Alma has created (plus the lovely drinks and snacks included) really enable you to connect with your creativity and completely get lost in the process! I totally lost track of time and came away wanting more! I can't recommend highly enough and I look forward to my next class with Alma. 

Danielle Murray

Alma is a fantastic teacher. I'm an absolute beginner and her watercolour class was educational, relaxing and resulted in a lovely painting at the end of the session. We had the chance to learn about best practice and technique which have given me a base to keep painting on my own. I had a fantastic time and would recommend her classes to anyone - thanks Alma!

Bansri Shah

This is the second class I've done with Alma and it was great! Completely different working with watercolours but Alma walked us through it step by step and explained different techniques. I would love to go to another of her water colour classes to keep working at it. 


Charlotte Benton

Ava Barrett

This was such a great class! Alma was brilliant, the set up was lovely and I felt I finally understood watercolours by the end of it.

Patricia Wond

Excellent beginners class for watercolours

Philipp Schlegl

Great experience in very calm atmosphere, with an instructor who is clearly on top of her game and very encouraging.

Even as a one-off experience, like in my case, I'd highly recommend these classes 

Julia Megginson

We had a lovely time in this class, during which Ishbel taught us different watercolour techniques, and patiently guided us through the birds of paradise painting, giving us tips and encouragements along the way. 
It’s a great class, made all the better by a great teacher!

Stephanie Bilet

Really lovely class, great environment and wonderful teacher

Sophie Trueman

This class was okay overall but there were a few ways in which I felt it was lacking. There were no birds of paradise plants present which we were meant to be painting and no photos of it either. As I don’t know what it looks like it was very hard to know what to paint. Sometimes the tutor would get the photo up on his phone and show us but this felt very uncomfortable and inconvenient for everyone to have to keep asking him to show us a reference picture on his phone. Also it was an incredibly basic class. We didn’t even cover color theory which was one of the main reasons I wanted to attend the class. I’d say overall there was little instruction and I personally would’ve appreciated a more.  I’d say the class was overpriced for what the experience was but generally the tutor was nice and the studio space was a nice environment.

Alessandra Maggiora

A wonderful workshop... Alma , on top of being an amazing artist, is also a great teacher, she will guide you step by step but at the same time leave you free to experiment and bring you own twist to your art work. It's an intimate and cozy class, and being in her home studio you also get the chance to have a look at her beautiful pieces! Cannot recommend it enough, I will definitely be back :)

I never painted before but within two hours I have learned how to use a palette knife, perspective and choose complementary colours to make a professional painting.

Had an amazing 1-2-1 with Alma, completely lost myself in three hours of painting, learnt new techniques with acrylics and came away with a painting I’m proud of.  High recommend!

This is my 3rd class with Alma in a week so I think that pretty much speaks for itself. I learnt about acrylic painting techniques and how to layer with these paints. I learnt how to create 3d effects using an array of colours. The venue was amazing as always..very chilled out and relaxed.

Lovely setting for this class. Alma is an absolute rock star, kind, patient, and very inspiring. I am definitely coming back!

We absolutely loved our class with Alma! We learned a lot in a really short space of time and both came away with paintings that we (surprisingly) loved! The space is super cosy and Alma’s paintings were the most incredible source of inspiration to create our own. We will definitely be booking again. Thanks Alma!

This is really an extraordinary class painting from a perspective to which we wouldn't ordinarily see.  Hover high above a tropical beach and paint the sand, sea and trees, adding people and surfboards at the end.  Really good fun and I highly recommend it.

Tor Diaz

I have learnt lots! The class is super relaxing. Alma is super easy, friendly and inspiring. She taught us alot of techniques to get started. Overall, the class is beyond what I expected.

I had a great painting session with Alma yesterday.  The class took place in Alma's lovely place and the whole experience was peaceful and enjoyable with just four attendees. Alma made us comfortable and explained each and every step of the tasks clearly. She was very much hands on and I believe we all progressed well in the given time. A lot of tips and tricks as well as regular one to one conversations were very useful. Alma  made sure that we all enjoyed the session well and remained proud of what we achieved.  I would definitely recommend such a class to anyone. I hope to return to learn more in future.

Melanie Sheehan

Great class - relaxed, friendly atmosphere in a small but comfortable studio.  Alma was really helpful in showing us acrylic techniques and helping us individually with our projects.  The time flew past, and I came home with a half-decent painting!  I'd recommend for all levels, and will definitely book again.    

Oxana Mayorova

Very inspiring & creative class with a fabulous ambience!

Alma took us firstly through basics of the use of acrylics and then we were able to paint our own sea landscape from either the traditional panoramic view or from the more unusual sky view. She encourages you to explore and gives every individual guidance on their own piece. Very enjoyable and I look forward to follow up sessions! Thank you Alma!

Textured Abstract Art Workshop - One Day Creative Experience

This is my second class with Alma and I love it. She is a patient and encouraging teacher with helpful tips to get the best out of you.

Alma's class on textured abstract art was such a great introduction to textures. I learned a lot and Alma was great at explaining everything whilst also letting our creativity flow. Her studio is a lovely space for this class and Alma is very friendly and welcoming. We had a range of abilities in the class and I was a beginner but Alma was able to cater to everyone's level and style. I would highly recommend this class and will be looking to book another class with Alma soon.

Alma's class was AMAZING! The class was intimate, she shared her vast artistic knowledge, helped give guidance, and examples of composition, colour and texture before you even start putting paint to canvas. The time melted away, but at the end a stunning textured painting, and more importantly, knowledge and confidence to create future textured artwork stayed with me. If you choose just one teacher, and one class I wholeheartedly recommend this class. You will NOT be disappointed. 

Experience painting with freedom and personal expression with abstraction and mixed media exploration.

Oil painting for beginners can be intimidating!  So where do you begin? This class will help you experience oil painting in the easiest way possible. Here are a few things to discuss in our introduction.

-Why use oil paint?
-Is oil painting more complicated?
-Is oil painting more toxic?
-Does it requires a lot of material?
-How to learn more
-Demonstration

We will spend 2 hours creating a version of my floral head painting via zoom in this oil painting class. You will learn essential information regarding techniques and materials which will help you complete this piece.

This is not painting by numbers but the guide will be easy to follow with Alma's help. You will be encouraged to find your style in every brushstroke, and finish the painting in your self-expression.

Research shows that even a small amount of creativity can help you cope with stress & anxiety. By learning to better express yourself, through the medium of art, painting can be an act of self-care that supports your emotional wellbeing, produces relaxation and calmness. Art is therapy.

With that in mind, the class will be handled in a less formal approach, with no pressure in making it as it is but you will be creating your version of this piece the way you want it to be.
