Painting Workshop Inspired by Gerhard Richter

​Dive into a morning of contemporary abstraction in this half-day workshop inspired by painter Gerhard Richter. This session focuses on Richter’s celebrated techniques for layering vibrant, contrasting colours without muddying your palette.

​The day begins with a group discussion on how Richter builds texture, mood, and atmospheric depth. You will then experiment on a small scale using a rich mix of inks, acrylics, and oil pastels.

​Using specialised tools like large brushes and rubber kidneys, you will learn to smear, scrape, and blend paint to create interesting surfaces. Whether you choose to blend these techniques with figurative elements or dive into total abstraction, you will receive personalised guidance to support you in creating a beautiful, finished A3 artwork to take home.
