All materials included and 40cm x 50cm original artwork you make to take home. As we turn inward and explore the spaces where imagination and perception meet, INSIDE WONDER invites you to slow down and engage with the quiet energy of inner landscapes. This expressive palette knife painting workshop draws inspiration from the subtle shifts between thought, feeling and form, exploring how colour and texture can reveal what exists beneath the surface. Guided by Melbourne-based artist Angelina Mirabito, PhD, this immersive session combines intuitive art-making with the tactile, sculptural technique of palette knife painting. You’ll explore layering, movement and material presence to create depth and atmosphere, building bold yet sensitive surfaces that reflect the internal rhythms of perception and discovery.
Guided by Melbourne-based artist Angelina Mirabito, PhD, this immersive session combines intuitive art-making with the tactile, sculptural technique of palette knife painting. You’ll explore layering, movement, and texture to create depth and warmth in your work, building bold marks that echo the organic rhythms of the season. This workshop encourages curiosity, experimentation, and personal expression.
