Abstraction and Mark Making with Brianne Burnell

Saturday, January 18th from 1-3pm

In this creative workshop, mixed media artist Brianne Burnell will guide you through her favourite techniques for making spontaneous and intuitive marks in your art. You’ll experiment with both traditional tools like paint brushes and pencil crayons, and unconventional materials like sticks, wood cutouts, and tin foil to create fresh, surprising textures and shapes.

Through a series of fun, exploratory exercises, you’ll develop your own visual language, then layer it all together to create a unique abstract painting on watercolour paper. This workshop is perfect for all skill levels—from curious beginners to seasoned artists looking for fresh inspiration.

Please bring: Clothes you can get paint on, an open mind, and a willingness to experiment!
