(button to register is at the bottom of this page)
Absolute beginners and intermediate artists are welcome.
Supplies needed:
Watercolour paints, watercolour paper and brushes
A container with water to wash out your brushes
Masking tape (optional)
Paper towel (or anything absorbent you don't mind getting stained)
We'll cover:
- Techniques to add depth and dimension
- Brush techniques to produce beautiful loose florals
- Composition basics
- Creating texture, flow, balance and harmony
- What to look for when buying paints and other art supplies
- Any questions you have as we go along!
This would not be complete if we didn't address mindset. This workshop is a judgement-free zone and we'll talk about how to quiet that talkative inner critic who may have opinions about your art journey.
This workshop is perfect for you if:
- You have an itch to create but don't know where to start.
- You love the idea of painting flowers, and want some guidance to get you going.
- You have some art experience and want to expand your horizons.
- You like to doodle or colour in adult colouring books and want to take things to the next level.
- You like the idea of art as a meditative practice.
Each student will create a series of experimental mini-paintings in their own unique "Inspiration Bundle".
They can then use the bundle to spark inspiration at home whenever their creativity needs a boost! Your mini-paintings can also be framed, given away, made into cards or whatever other use you are inspired by.
Here's a peek at a similar in-person workshop I did with mini-paintings like this. (Yours can be bigger if you like.) Students tell me they like the mini-painting format because it's less intimidating.
