Tickets: £210
Join artist Helle Johansen-Baker for a day exploring the expressive possibilities of abstract painting through colour, composition, and experimentation.
Inspired by Helle's contemporary painting practice, this immersive workshop invites participants to discover how abstract paintings can evolve from observation, intuition, and playful exploration. Through a series of guided exercises, you'll investigate colour relationships, composition, layering, texture, and expressive mark-making before developing your own finished abstract painting.
Beginning with practical demonstrations and colour studies, participants will build confidence through experimentation before creating a larger work on canvas. Throughout the day, Helle will share insights into her creative process while offering individual guidance and encouragement.
Suitable for beginners and experienced painters alike, this workshop provides a welcoming environment to develop confidence in abstraction while discovering new ways of approaching colour and composition.
All art materials are provided by Green & Stone.
Based in Surrey, Helle Johansen-Baker is a contemporary abstract painter whose work explores the relationship between colour, movement, and composition. Through layers of expressive mark-making and carefully balanced colour palettes, she creates paintings that evoke atmosphere, emotion, and a sense of place without directly representing the world around us.
Inspired by both the natural environment and the intuitive process of painting, Helle's practice embraces experimentation, allowing each work to evolve through successive layers and spontaneous gestures. Her paintings invite viewers to slow down, observe, and discover their own connections within the abstract forms.
In this workshop, Helle shares her approach to abstraction, encouraging participants to experiment with colour, composition, and texture while developing confidence in their own creative process.
