Alfresco Living: A Mediterranean-Inspired Painting Workshop with Annabel Hocking

A Relaxed Saturday Morning Painting Workshop Inspired by Mediterranean Living

Join me for a painting workshop in THE DRAWING ROOM, a light-filled greenhouse studio surrounded by gardens and greenery.

For two hours, you’ll be transported to a sun-drenched Mediterranean terrace, capturing the colours and feeling of outdoor living through expressive painting. Set within a beautifully styled al fresco tablescape featuring seasonal flowers, citrus fruits and ceramics, this creative workshop invites you to slow down, observe closely and enjoy the simple pleasure of making art in a relaxed garden setting.

Whether you’re completely new to painting or looking to develop your creative practice, this welcoming workshop offers the perfect opportunity to explore colour and composition through paint while enjoying a peaceful Saturday morning immersed in creativity.

What to Expect

During this hands-on painting workshop, you’ll learn how to create an expressive artwork inspired by a beautifully styled Mediterranean-inspired table setting.

Throughout the session, Annabel will guide you through:

Exploring colour palettes inspired by Mediterranean landscapes, gardens and coastal living
Learning simple techniques for composing and simplifying a still-life scene
Painting from a carefully curated al fresco tablescape featuring seasonal flowers, fruit, ceramics and linens
Developing confidence with colour, mark-making and composition
Receiving individual guidance and encouragement throughout the workshop
Creating and taking home your own finished artwork

This workshop is designed to be relaxed, inspiring and accessible, making it suitable for both beginners and those with previous painting experience.
