If you’ve been wanting to begin (or rekindle) your painting journey, join me, Marlene Lowden, for a gentle, joy-filled 2 day workshop designed for beginners and anyone craving a brush-up. Together we’ll dive into experimentation, explore mark-making, and uncover the 7 elements of design—those essential building blocks that support every painting you’ll ever make. We’ll play with colour, shape, line, value, texture, and form in ways that are accessible, supportive, and fun. Most of the exercises are rooted in my abstract painting practice, but this workshop is open to those who prefer more object-based work; we are simply building your creative toolbox.
