Sunday, 15th May

“Art is a natural way to practice mindfulness. The colors, textures and sounds of creating pull us into the moment. You don’t need any previous training to meditate through art, just a willingness to draw like a child, with freedom and a sense of curiosity.” That is why we are inviting you to bring your freedom, curiosity, and inner-child down to our studio. Paint away your pressures, simply focus your mind on embracing messiness, and let art express the things you can’t articulate.

POURING ACRYLICS
Fluid Art
with @janinasartventures
Acrylic Pouring is a rather hypnotic and meditative approach to creating abstract art which often leads to stunning results... and even when it doesn't, the process is so satisfying and fun.
By making the acrylic paint liquid, it can be poured onto a canvas in a multitude of ways letting the paint splat, ooze and mix right in front of your eyes creating unimaginable patterns just as you tilt your canvas. It is all in your hands! Suitable for beginners, experts, and all lovers of some mess and chaos, this 3-to-4-hour workshop will look at how different techniques and colour combinations can create abstract art so beautiful, everyone will think you planned it all along.

What is urban sketching? It's basically drawing on location, capturing and documenting what we see from direct observation, indoors and outdoors. Urban sketchers tell the story of their surroundings, their point of view, the places they live and where they travel. The drawings are a record of a certain point in time and place. This course is created for sketching enthusiasts with no prior experience, that wish to begin their sketching journey.

Events want to be a creative, refreshing and entertaining going-out alternative, while Workshops are designed to teach something or develop a specific skill while still remaining a fun activity. Held by local guest artists!
