Join Daisy in this Life is a Flower Workshop and spend the day painting the joy of Botanicals.
During the workshop, you will have the opportunity to learn the basics of oil paints, of which you’ll be able to utilise over longer periods of time during your own practice.
You will spend time sketching out your piece using the gridding method, and then burst into the joyful colours with oil. This class encourages you to tap into your own creative flow, with no expectations or space for comparison. With a short window of time with oil’s, you’ll be learning new skills and utilising them without overthinking. Gentle application is encouraged, whilst releasing any pressure for the perfect picture.

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.
