This is an expressive and authentic way of working which allows participants the freedom to work abstractly. 

It starts with participants making a small booklet looking at, and experimenting with different techniques. Following this, participants will be loosened up and ready to create their abstract or semi-abstract painting. 

Complimentary tea/coffee & biscuits provided. Please bring your own lunch or food may be purchased from nearby cafes in Caloundra.

Please bring: 

  • 1 x 30cm x 40cm primed canvas (available from Spotlight or art supply stores)
  • Your choice of acrylic paints and brushes
  • Suitable art-making clothes

All other materials will be supplied.
