    About Michael's Workshops

    Michael Hemming is a UK-based artist known for his expressive sea, land and sky paintings where he uses abstract and semi abstract techniques. His workshops focus on process over perfection, helping artists work intuitively and develop their own visual style rather than just copying.

    Michael has developed his unique style over many years of experimentation and by building a knowledge base of pigments, colour mixing and expressive mark making. He enjoys being able to share his enthusiasm for painting in his workshops which are held in his Bournemouth studio. He also visits art groups across several counties where he is invited to share his knowledge.
