Workshop Information
This one day workshop involves learning alternative mark-making skills, mixed medium techniques and ways in which to create art in your own style whilst finding your own inner expression. I provide all materials and we work with water-based substances.
This workshop is a calling to let go of the inner pressure of being scared to put something down on the paper and give yourself the outlet to allow what is inside of you to come out onto the paper. My style is very much expressive, abstract and through my art, I explore my inner expression and that’s what I’ll be teaching you to find within yourself. I realise through running this type of workshop that everyone’s style is different and that is the beauty of art. We all interpret what we see around us differently. That is how it is meant to be, uniquely your own and that’s what I’ll be allowing you to find and harness on this short course.
Everyone has an intrinsic style and it’s allowing the time, space and permission for it to be nurtured out of ourselves. This workshop is to allow you to grow and learn skills in confidence to put down marks on paper and ways in which you can forward a piece or rectify if you want to change. Nothing is a failure or ‘wrong’ as things can always be worked through and I teach ways in which to balance a piece of work and the push/ pull method of rectifying a work and surrendering to the process.
Accessibility
This 1 day course is accessible to everyone. It is for those who have never so much as picked up a paintbrush before and want to be vulnerable and grow out of their comfort zone or for those who already have experience in art and want to try something new which will overall feed into their practise.
