Intuitive Painting
Experience -
This is a course designed to promote the experience of creativity. Using
the brilliant colours of acrylic paint in an encouraging non-judgemental
environment, students will taste the joy of intuitive painting and have
the opportunity to go deep into their own well of creativity. This course
is for people of all levels of experience, the artistic, the
'non-artistic' and for those who want to create without the pressure to
perform or succeed. For
beginners this is an opportunity to start a relationship with painting by
experiencing the joy and energy of creating. For experienced artists, it
is a chance to break out of patterns, to refresh a relationship with
creativity.
The potential of this course is to go on a journey of self
discovery, learn to trust intuition and deepen the passion for life.
Inspiration and Idea
Development - Standing in front of the canvas,
paintbrush in hand, is a strong invitation for inspiration. In this course
students will learn tools that get them in front of the canvas with full
hearts and an enthusiasm to express their unique selves.
Intuitive
Painting will be reviewed plus students will be introduced to a number of
brainstorming idea development techniques which will take them deeper into
their own creative thought processes.
Building a Painting - This course focusses
on techniques used by Ted Wallace to "build a painting." A number of
acrylic mediums will be presented including layering, collaging, texture
and other building techniques. This course however offers much more than
technical information. There will be review and some instruction in
intuitive painting as well as inspiration and idea development.
