Join oil painter Daisy Embury on this day workshop to explore the realms of abstraction and figuration through looser painting styles in oils.

In this workshop Daisy will teach you, through the use of colour, texture and mark making, how to create more expressive art pieces that reflect the beauty and complexity of their surroundings using oil paint. This workshop will also thoughtfully incorporate a variety of other artistic mediums, such as collage, charcoal, and acrylics, to further enrich and enhance the creative process.

You will have discussions about the significance of utilising sketchbooks in your artistic practice and will closely examine the captivating works of various artists, which will help foster a deeper understanding of the intricate interplay between abstraction and nature in our own unique artistic journeys.

You will leave this workshop with a greater understanding and confidence in the use of oils in an expressive style.

Meet Your Tutor - Daisy embury

Daisy is a self-taught, British artist and oil painter, currently exploring our relationship with nature through oil paintings, and journey from Birth to Rebirth.

Daisy discovered oil paints when she was 12, and had a fascination with hands, feet, and human skin, evolving into freelancing as a portrait painter. She took her creativity to University, to study Fine Art, developed a love for painting botanicals, delicate likeness to the humans, and returned to portraiture in the final year.

Daisy has participated in group shows, won Botanical Artist of the year, and was selected for the Clyde & Co Awards. She also briefly attended The Florence Academy of Art in Italy, after obsessing over the Renaissance craftsmanship. She then spent three years in the beautiful New Zealand, and took various commissions during her time there. Then relocated to Melbourne to work as a Personalisation Expert and Artisan for Louis Vuitton. This put her back in touch with creativity, and her own ideas were birthed.

Daisy has recently become a qualified Creative Therapist.
