This 12-Week Course key focus is to work at your own pace through your painting, and to discover at which stages are the most expansive to you.
The theme of this workshop is called BLOOM. You’ll have the opportunity to choose a botanical image that resonates with you the most, which symbolises a freshness, and colours that you’d like to carry through from Spring into the summer months.
You will follow a similar structure to how Daisy creates her work, and it will give you the space, with structure, to figure out what is important to you in your painting and where you enjoy directing your time.
You’ll have a personal booklet to journey with you on the course, where you can take notes to come away with. All skills can be utilized in your own practice once the course has ended. The course is designed for beginners but all skills are welcomed.

“It’s been beautiful to reflect on the link in what I was naturally drawn to at a young age, and my returned curiosity to combine both Nature and us.”

Daisy is a self-taught, British artist and oil painter, currently exploring our relationship with nature through oil paintings, and journey from Birth to Rebirth.
Daisy discovered oil paints when she was 12, and had a fascination with hands, feet, and human skin, evolving into freelancing as a portrait painter. She took her creativity to University, to study Fine Art, developed a love for painting botanicals, delicate likeness to the humans, and returned to portraiture in the final year.
Daisy has participated in group shows, won Botanical Artist of the year, and was selected for the Clyde & Co Awards. She also briefly attended The Florence Academy of Art in Italy, after obsessing over the Renaissance craftsmanship. She then spent three years in the beautiful New Zealand, and took various commissions during her time there. Then relocated to Melbourne to work as a Personalisation Expert and Artisan for Louis Vuitton. This put her back in touch with creativity, and her own ideas were birthed.
