Abstract Botanical Workshop Series

This immersive weekly evening series, designed by Artisea and professional artist Mellina Van der Valk, helps you quiet your inner critic and develop a unique visual style.

Perfect for both absolute beginners and practising creatives, the sessions blend mindful, meditative drawing exercises with dynamic mark-making techniques to help you completely loosen up your artistic approach.

Throughout October, you will learn to look at leaves, flowers, and stems through a contemporary lens, simplifying natural forms and experimenting with fluid paint layers and bold colour palettes. You will guide your new skills toward a final, polished masterpiece, leaving the final session with a completed canvas ready to frame and display proudly at home.
