Create Your Own Large-Scale Masterpiece
“What a lovely little oasis Stepney City Farm is! I loved the different elements to the session: a little walk around the site, sitting in a little "cave" of trees as we tried to tap into the creative part of our brain and just let go! Georgie offered tea and coffee as we created our art and led us expertly with her gentle, genius, creative soul. I hope I can do this again. Thank you Georgie”

What to Expect
On Day 1 We will make two or three initial mock-ups on paper, with paint, pastels and textures to use as our prototype. Then, taking inspiration from our prototype, we will create the initial textural layers on the canvas.
On Day 2 We’ll apply the first layers of paint. I’ll show you how to use lots of different tools and techniques. Don’t worry if you feel nervous about the large canvas; it’s actually a very freeing experience working big because you cant’ get too lost in detail. Explore materials such as mud, sand, acrylics, tissue paper, pastels and way more. We’ll switch between looking at the canvas from afar and up close to achieve a perfect balance between detail and initial impact.
Watch a reel of Giovanni (who had never painted before) creating an absolute masterpiece for his house in Italy, in just eight hours!
