Mindful Painting Workshop Friday 1st March

Description

This workshop is about enjoying the mindfulness of painting in water colours.  The morning will be calm and peaceful allowing you to lose yourself in creativity, escaping from the routine and stresses of daily life enabling a sense of wellbeing. We’ll start by painting some loose brush strokes, playing with colour and effect to give you confidence to continue with your chosen hand. There is no critique, as each painting is personal and can be used as developmental work as you progress throughout the morning. It’s entirely up to you whether you’d like to work on smaller studies in a sketched style or to concentrate on a larger, tighter piece of work.  We will work from both fresh flowers and botanical books depending on your preference, and you are welcome to bring along anything from home that may inspire your paintings. Sarah is very happy to explain and show examples of her painting technique if you feel you’d like a little guidance.

You can create as many pieces, large or small, to take home either as keepsakes for journals, as greetings cards, bookmarks or pictures.

Whether you are a complete beginner or have painted before, this session will give you the opportunity to lose yourself in calm creativity and to allow you to develop your own unique hand at watercolour painting. Many people have remarked at how calm the session is and leaving the session feeling like they’ve just experienced a spa treatment! Sarah has welcomed several ‘non painters’ to these workshops who have gone on to repurpose a spare room or garden cabin into a studio in order to continue their painting journey.

Materials are provided, however if you feel more comfortable using your own particular set of brushes or paint feel free to bring these along.

Tea and coffee will be served throughout and mid way through the morning we will break for some chocolate brownies and a natter.

Workshops are held within Sarah’s wooden cabin located within her garden overlooking a large open field in Easons Green, East Sussex, TN22 5JG. THIS WORKSHOP WILL BE HELD ON FRIDAY 1ST MARCH 9.30-12PM
