A day to challenge your instincts, take creative risks, and discover a freer way to paint — working from a live model.

About the Day

Working from a live model, this workshop is an invitation to experiment, take creative risks, and push past your usual habits. Through a series of exercises designed to challenge how you see and paint, you'll be encouraged to loosen up, try unfamiliar techniques, and discover what happens when you let go of the need for a "perfect" result. Expect to surprise yourself.

Led by Artist Pippa Hale-Lynch. All abilities welcome, all materials provided. Max participants 6.

The workshop will take place at Haus Of Ode, a beautiful seafront tattoo studio with stunning sea views. Haus Of Ode: https://www.instagram.com/hausofode/?hl=en (https://www.instagram.com/hausofode/?hl=en)

There will be a one-hour lunch break from 1–2pm. Lunch isn’t provided, but there are plenty of nearby cafés and shops to explore. Several paid parking options are also available close by.

What to Expect

The day moves through a series of exercises that gradually build in scale and ambition — from fast, gestural warm-ups to a final sustained painting. Along the way you'll be guided out of your comfort zone with one-on-one support available throughout.

What's Included

All materials are provided. You are also welcome to bring your own.

Who Is This For?

No prior experience needed. If you're curious, open to experimentation, and ready to have fun with paint, this day is for you.
