FAQ’s
FAQ 1 - What is the difference between the 5 day Blooms Coastal Painting Workshop and the 5 day Blooms Painting Workshops?
Blooms Coastal explores freestyle painting techniques that allow you to paint a range of coastal painting challenges from coastal beaches, flora, human additions to seascapes, coastal nature and also sea side subject matter that relate to human leisure time. We start from a small size and gradually build the range of painting challenges and move to mid and large size canvases. I have run a number of Blooms Coastal Painting workshops with great success for the student painting outcomes. Many students have found the confidence to get rebooted with their painting or to take it further because it is a confidence producing workshop.
The subject matter is less tightly detailed orientated than Blooms ( floral) Painting Workshops which
teach my proven Blooms Painting Method, a system of painting that anyone can successfully apply for empowering painting results and gaining confidence in painting with detailed training. We paint peonies, roses, hydrangeas, frangipanis, irises, sunflowers, cherries, pears and so much more.
Blooms Coastal is in essence easy breezy with the beautiful colours of the beach and coastal lifestyle, with a range of accessible approaches taught to capture these subject matters, whilst the Blooms Painting workshop featuring sumptuous blooms is heady with natures feminine inspirations and the training techniques to be to capture these beauties.
Many of my students do both workshops.
FAQ 2 - I haven’t painted before or not for a long time. Can I really do this workshop?
Of course you can do this workshop because no previous experience is necessary. I explain everything as we go and you try it under my supervision so there is plenty of support.
I start every demo from scratch. If you are already painting you will find the techniques refreshing . This workshop is for you if you wish to;
- free up your painting
- overcome bad habits with paint application and learn to use paint for luscious effect
- learn a variety of ways to apply acrylic paint from smooth to textured
- combine a variety of layers and ways of applying the paint for a rich effect
- try new painting tools for different outcomes
- GAIN COURAGE & CONFIDENCE with your painting
- Learn to paint more productively ) more paintings finished in less time outlay
FAQ 3 - Why is it a good idea to attend this workshop?
- Learn from an experienced, kind and compassionate artist of over 30 years painting experience with 5 star google reviews from happy satisfied clients
- If you continue to do the same things you can expect the same results. Why not learn and expand your knowledge and change your outcomes to unlimited possibilities?
- With an international teaching schedule that includes Italy, France, NZ and Australia, I can visit Perth once a year. I limit class numbers for Blooms Coastal to 10 for quality, so you won’t want to miss out!
- Clean up your painting bug bears and get past procrastination when you produce at least 10 paintings during our 5 days together!
- This is a fun workshop where you can immerse and enjoy ‘me time’ and tick the creative box for a great start to 2026!
