RESIN ART FUNDAMENTALS
Next workshop: June 27/28 2026 | Victoria, BC
Master the art of epoxy resin, from the ground up. Learn to use resin as a clear coat for your paintings, and in abstract artworks.
This 2-day workshop covers all fundamentals of using epoxy resin. Saturday and Sunday, 2pm-6 pm each day.
FLUID ART POURING
NEXT DATES: TBA
Acrylic pouring is another very popular art technique that looks a lot easier than it actually is. In this 5 hour workshop, I will teach you how to properly mix, pour and work with acrylic paint pouring so that you can create beautiful fluid art cells without the trial and error that is so common when people attempt this style at home.
PRIVATE ART CLASSES & EVENTS
schedule at your convenience
Step into an experience where inspiration flows. Whether you’re pouring resin, painting fluid abstracts, or exploring new techniques, each class is designed to help you slow down, reconnect with your artistic side, and create something truly beautiful.
Led by Natalie Brake, a professional artist and educator known for her relaxed, intuitive teaching style, these workshops are more than just classes - they’re immersive experiences that blend artistry, mindfulness, and community.
From private events and team experiences to children’s birthday parties, every session is thoughtfully crafted to meet you where you are, spark your imagination, and leave you with art you’ll love — and memories that last.
UNLEASH YOUR INNNER CREATIVE
Abstract Expressionism Series
5 classes in total
Abstract art is an intuitive art form, and often people struggle with over-thinking or allowing the inner critic to block the flow. In this 5-class series, I guide participants through the process of listening to the important messages of the inner critic, while gently nudging it to step back and let the creative juices flow. This series is perfect for anyone who wants to express themselves in a more open and creative way. Perfect for beginners or more advanced painters.
