Abstract Painting
With Rebecca Hurst
Join Rebecca Hurst in her themed workshops, where she will demonstrate her exceptional skill in abstract mark-making and mixed media. The workshops are suitable for complete beginners but also for anyone that is keen to explore new ways of working with acrylic paint.
What will I be learning?
You will learn new ways of working creatively using an assortment of props and natural elements. From sticks and ink to brushes, tape, and more, you'll discover how to unleash your imagination with a host of tools and materials. Through playful experimentation, you will develop the ability to work with freedom and fluidity, allowing your creativity to flourish.
Using the innovative taped-off technique, you'll craft numerous small artworks. Building on this foundation, you will then create a unique still life or individual piece, reflecting the skills and inspiration gained during the session.

About The Tutor
I believe in the power of art to promote freedom, self-expression, and positivity. Transitioning from an account manager to an artist during pregnancy, I found solace and passion in art, reconnecting with my great grandmother's legacy. Art became my therapy, transforming stress into serenity and igniting a love for lifelong learning.
Initially a hobby, art became my calling, allowing me to aid others and share its transformative impact. My journey, which began in 2013, has reshaped my mindset and led to recognition and achievements, including winning Theo Paphitis' Small Business Sunday award and participating in Landscape Artist of the Year.
Currently, I'm preparing a new collection for the Sussex Art Fair 2024 and teaching workshops to help others embrace their creative potential. My future goals include expanding my workshops, evolving my art, curating a solo show, and authoring a book to inspire aspiring artists. My vision is to foster a community of creativity, courage, and continuous growth.
