They’re relaxed, small-group sessions where you can switch off, try something new and spend a few hours properly immersed in making art – without pressure or judgement. Come for the creativity, stay for the calm, and leave with new skills.

Hi, I’m Laura

My work is rooted in the study of landscape, weather and seasonal change, with colour at the heart of everything I create. Using oils, acrylics and a varierty of other materials, I develop my paintings through sketches that explore composition, atmosphere and colour, transforming these ideas into bold, vibrant final pieces.

I loved art at school, but somewhere along the way adult life and work took over and I never quite found my way back to it. Laura Donaldson has completely reignited my creative spark and given me the confidence to experiment again with drawing, watercolours, acrylics, acrylic pens and collage without worrying about perfection. It’s been such a confidence boost, so therapeutic, and such an enjoyable hobby to discover and enjoy again.

A friend and I attended one of Laura’s one-day colour workshops, and we both felt quite apprehensive beforehand. Neither of us had done any art since school, and we worried we might embarrass ourselves—but we couldn’t have been more wrong! It turned out to be a wonderful day. Laura immediately puts you at ease and creates such a fun, relaxed atmosphere. We learned so much about colour, but more importantly, she reminded us of the most essential part of being creative: to simply play and enjoy the process. I can’t recommend Laura’s workshops highly enough—whether you’re a complete beginner or just looking to reconnect with your creativity, you’ll have an amazing time!
