When most artists start experimenting with texture, they often feel unsure. 

How much is too much? 

Where should it go? 

When should it be added? 

Will it eventually fall off?

And how do you create beautiful texture without overwhelming the painting?

Well, look no further as Texture Magic  is here to answer all your questions and teach you how to use texture to transform your artwork from so-so to STUNNING!

I’m an intuitive abstract artist and teacher, and I’ve been successfully selling my art online and through galleries for over 30 years. 

 Over time, I’ve become well known for my distinctive use of texture.

  Texture has become something of a signature mark in my work - the element that gives my paintings their depth, energy and tactile presence. 

 Collectors are often drawn to the rich surfaces of my pieces, sometimes saying they feel an irresistible urge to reach out and touch the canvas. 

 And even after all these years, I’m still endlessly fascinated by texture. Every time I step into the studio, I continue to experiment, refine and explore new ways of building surface and depth within my paintings.

 It’s a constant process of discovery - and one of the most exciting parts of my creative practice. 

 That’s exactly why I created Texture Magic… to share what I’ve learned and help other artists confidently use texture to bring their paintings to life. (And Ive been asked almost every week, when are you doing a course on texture!? )

Most artists learn texture by copying things they see online. 

Someone spreads modelling paste. 

Someone embeds paper. 

Someone drags a palette knife across thick paint. 

And it looks exciting. 

So artists try the same thing. 

But the deeper principles are rarely explained. 

Which means artists end up: adding texture randomly, using far too much, placing it in the wrong areas, creating unstable surfaces, and overpowering the painting.

 Texture should never dominate a painting. 

It should support the composition, movement and energy of the work. When used properly, texture feels natural. Balanced. Intentional. 

When used incorrectly, it creates chaos. 

And this is exactly where most artists get stuck.

Texture is not complicated if you know the basics.

Once you understand the main categories of texture and how they behave, everything becomes much easier.

 Instead of guessing… you’ll know exactly: 

• Which textures to use 
• How to use them 
• How long they need to dry
• What surfaces to use

That’s exactly what you’ll learn inside Texture Magic...

1. Paper Texture

 Paper can add beautiful layered surfaces to a painting. You’ll learn how to incorporate paper so it becomes part of the composition rather than something that feels stuck on top. When used well, paper creates subtle texture and depth while keeping the painting light and expressive.

 2. Organic Appearing Texture

. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to create organic appearing texture that creates interesting surfaces while still maintaining harmony within the painting. These textures can add a natural, grounded quality to abstract or realistic work.

 3. Medium-Based Texture

We dive into the plethora of mediums that are available, how to use them correctly and how to create recipes that make your texture stand out!

 4. Modelling Paste

 Texture Modelling paste is one of the most popular texture materials. But it’s also one of the most commonly misused. I’ll show you how to apply modelling paste in a way that creates depth and movement without making the painting feel heavy.

 5. Unique Texture 

Standing out with original, unique texture techniques is important in today's art industry.  Ciara will show you some top secret techniques that will give you a texture 'edge'!
