This two day course is aimed at artists that have some experience of abstract painting. Perhaps you are familiar with acrylics and would like to try oils? Or perhaps you'd like to develop your practice further through working on a series of paintings.

If you are completely new to abstract/intuitive painting, I would recommend taking my One Day Workshop first.

If you're not sure whether this workshop is suitable for you, please email me at julia@juliapoulton.com and I can help you decide.

There will be a maximum of 4 students per workshop. This ensures plenty of individual support from Julia, as well as the opportunity for valuable peer support within a more intimate and relaxed setting.

Yes. All materials including oil paints, mediums, canvases, boards and paper are included in the price. Each student will be provided with 3 professional quality deep edge canvases (varying sizes) and two primed boards to work on and subsequently take home.

Aprons and gloves will be available, though feel free to bring your own if you prefer.

You'll receive a confirmation of your booking with a link to workshop information, such as directions, what to bring, etc.

For this workshop, it will be necessary to transport your work home by car (if you are driving or can have someone pick you up). I would suggest laying them flat in the boot or back seat of your car, ideally on a protective sheet or newspaper. As you will have multiple pieces, I'll be happy to help you carry them out to your vehicle.

Please get in touch if you think you may not have a vehicle on the day (if you're using public transport for example) and we can discuss alternative arrangements for collecting your work.

Yes. Tea, coffee and biscuits are provided.

Please bring a packed lunch.

Yes. There are a several hotels/b&bs in Harrogate. I'll include a list within the course information that you'll receive after booking.

PLEASE NOTE: There may be occasion where I need to cancel or move a workshop due to unforseen cirmumstances (such as illness or insufficient numbers to run). As such, I would recommend booking accommodation that offers cancellation refunds, or waiting til nearer the workshop date before booking your accommodation.

In the event of cancellation, I will do my best to let you know with a minimum of 2 weeks notice.

A minimum of 2 week's notice (prior to course start date) must be given to enable a refund on your course booking. Cancellation within less than 2 weeks prior to the course date will not be refunded. However, in the event I am able to fill your place, a refund will be made.

Should I need to cancel the course myself (due to unforseen circumstances or not having the required number to run), I will aim to give as much notice as possible. You will be offered an alternative course date or refund.
