Step into bold colour, instinctive mark-making, and raw creative energy in this acrylic painting workshop inspired by the spirit of Basquiat. This class is about freeing your mind and letting go of overthinking. You’ll be guided through the process of creating your own expressive artwork: layering paint, symbols, text, and gesture, while still receiving structure so you never feel lost. The aim is not to copy, but to channel inspiration into something uniquely yours. Along the way, you’ll be introduced to composition basics, the use of contrast and layering, and a short insight into Basquiat’s work and what made his visual language so powerful. You’ll also experiment with different materials to build texture and depth in your piece. The result is a finished artwork that feels personal, expressive, and alive – something you can take home, frame, and place in your living space. Suitable for beginners and anyone interested in portraiture, creative exploration, and developing confidence in their painting process.
At the end of the workshop, you’ll have one piece, which you can carefully bring home.
Participants: Maximum 6 participants.
We believe in the power of small groups to learn and enjoy your class.
Course runs with a minimum of 2 participants.
