Unlock your creativity and express what words cannot.

Join Melbourne-based abstract artist Angelina Mirabito for a hands-on painting workshop where your emotions become your palette. Through the powerful technique of palette knife painting, you’ll explore colour, texture, and movement in a guided process designed to help you reconnect with your inner self.

We begin with gentle breathwork and colour reflection, creating space for clarity and intuition. From there, you’ll move into creating a bold, textured 40x40cm artwork using palette knives—no prior experience needed, just a willingness to play, feel, and explore.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned creative, this workshop offers a meaningful and liberating art-making experience in a supportive, relaxed environment.

In this immersive workshop, you will:

  • Experiment with palette knife techniques to create striking texture and movement.

  • Explore color as an emotional language, learning to express moods and experiences.

  • Embrace spontaneity and creativity, allowing intuition to guide your process.

  • Create a 40cm x 40cm artwork to take home as a personal expression of your emotions.

What’s included:

  • All materials (canvas, tools, paints)

  • A glass of wine + light refreshments

  • Your completed 40x40cm artwork to take home

  • Small group session (max 12 participants)

This workshop is about freedom, exploration, and self-expression—no prior painting experience needed!

Cost:

  • $80 per person

  • Gladstone residents receive 20% off with promo code at checkout

Spaces are limited, and our recent workshops have sold out—early booking is recommended.

Let go, explore, and create—experience the beauty of expressive painting with palette knives!
